The Albert McGowan water park is being replaced from March to August 2025.
The water park, some adjacent green space, and a portion of the parking lot will be closed during this time. Access to the north field, Hal Rogers Activity Centre, public washrooms, Gambles Pond, and baseball diamonds will not be impacted during phase two. Access to the newly constructed playground is via grass only during phase two, as the accessible pathway won’t reopen until the project is complete.

Located in downtown Kamloops, in the City’s gemstone park, the accessible water park operates seasonally. This water destination keeps kids splashing all day with endless water play options. The centerpiece is a powerhouse of activities with slides, tunnels, play panels, and interactive water effects that kids spend hours exploring. A twistable HydroHelix lets kids shower themselves with patterns of spray, and a FlashFlood drops a bucket of water from above. For curious minds, a unique AquaGather station provides kids a way to manipulate and experiment with the flow of water like budding scientists.
