Riverside Park
A downtown park on the Thompson River with a sandy beach, a Japanese Friendship Garden and riverside trails, and free outdoor concerts on summer evenings.
Riverside Park sits on the south bank of the Thompson River, just north of downtown Kamloops, and is the city's leisure hub. You can paddle or play in the sandy beach areas, stroll across the lawns and rose garden, or visit the Friendship Garden, built in partnership with Uji City in Japan. The riverside trail runs all the way to where the two rivers meet. From July to August there are open-air "Park Concerts" every evening, and in winter there is an outdoor skating rink. It is a few minutes' walk from Victoria Street in the city center, admission is free, and it can be combined with a visit to the Kamloops Museum.
