carp in the park – May 28, 2017

Watt Park, at the corner of Watt Road and Walnut Street in Kelowna, is usually a nice spot for a stroll or a picnic lunch but these days it’s teeming with carp.

Ground water has flooded into the park covering the picnic tables all the way up to the benches.

Breaking news from Canada and around the world sent to your email, as it happens.

Where once you could kick a ball around or play a game of frisbee, fish are swimming around right under the ducks.

It’s speculated the fish made it into the newly formed pond by coming through the storm pipes.

It’s such a surprising sight, people are often lined up along the sandbags to watch the carp swimming.
