The waterpark is being temporary closed after a power surge damaged the water pumps and other electrical equipment. Crews are at the park to look at the damage, and they’ve already started repairs to get the spray park open again.

An update is supposed to be posted later Tuesday on the City of Kelowna’s parks page with an estimated time of re-opening.

If you were really set on some summer fun at a spray park, you can always try the City Park Waterpark at 1600 Abbott Street or Quilchena Waterpark at 347 Quilchena Drive.
