A lookout at Kelowna’s Knox Mountain Park will soon undergo construction upgrades, with work starting next week.
The City of Kelowna says the project will cost $390,000 and will occur in two phases.
The first phase will start on Monday, March 18, and should be completed by mid-May. The second phase will begin at year’s end or in 2025.
According to the city, Phase 1 will see the creation of a large, comfortable open space at the east end of the existing parking area, along with a small plaza and custom benches.
