The Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO) board has approved an exchange of part of the Scenic Canyon Regional Park for other land.

The RDCO will acquire approximately ten hectares of new park land and a .86-hectare statutory right-of-way to provide for future trail and park connections between Scenic Canyon, the Mission Creek Greenway and City of Kelowna parks and trails.

RDCO will transfer 8.67-hectares of land in the park to the property owner.

In addition, the Regional District will receive approximately $454,000 in net compensation for the difference in the land valuation.
