Riverside Park
Riverside Park is a major waterfront park at 100 Lorne Street in downtown Kamloops, beside the Sandman Centre and at the confluence of the North and South Thompson rivers. The park combines open lawns, river views, a sandy beach, picnic areas, gardens, and access to the Rivers Trail multi-use pathway.
Visitors can enjoy the designated swimming area at the beach, an inclusive playground, an accessible seasonal water park, tennis and pickleball courts, lawn bowling, and the Rotary Bandshell. The park also includes a community garden, Uji Friendship Garden, rose gardens, public washrooms, water fountains, and a seasonal outdoor skating and multi-use loop for skating, roller sports, cycling, and walking.
Swimming is permitted only within the roped beach area and is at the user's own risk because of river currents and drop-offs. Dogs are generally not permitted in the park, except on the southern portion of the Rivers Trail where they must remain leashed.
