The existing playground at Finlayson Park is at the end of its lifespan and is scheduled for replacement! The playground equipment is over 25 years old, having been installed in 1998 with the support of many local businesses and community groups.
The District of Sicamous plans to replace the playground on the same footprint, as the current fence at the park is still in good shape and provides an important safety element. The Finlayson Park Playground is centrally located and the most consistently used playground by residents within the District of Sicamous.
