BEACH INFO:

Families come out for an evening picnic, take the boat out on a summers day or play with the kids on the beach. The area is great habitat for waterfowl and supports Grebes during breeding season in the spring and summer. Bring your binoculars and enjoy the birdwatching! There are many benches throughout the park for those who wish to relax and take in the fantastic scenery and views of Lake Country and Kalamalka Lake.

The scenery at the park is so beautiful that many couples chose to get married here. The gazebo and view of lake provide a striking backdrop for ceremonies and celebrations. As with many Regional Parks, special events such as weddings, family reunions and other large gatherings can be booked by calling the Regional Parks office for a permit.

WATER QUALITY:

Individual sampling results from Kaloya Park have exceeded Health Canada's guideline values for primary water use twice in the last year (400 E.coli bacteria/100 ml).

On the week of June 8, a single sampling result showed 670 E.coli/100ml, and on the week of June 29 a single sampling result showed >12000 E.coli/100ml.

The safe level for primary contact is based on a single sampling result of less than 400 E.coli/100ml
