For the first time since it opened 10 years ago, the adventure park just east of Kelowna on Highway 33 is locally owned. Greg Fedoriuk, who co-owns Myra Canyon Adventure Park, purchased the Okanagan Adventure Park earlier this year and will open it to the public on Saturday. The park is located at 5983 Highway 33, which is at the hairpin turn on the road to Big White. “We’re ready to go,” Fedoriuk said this week after insurance for the park finally went through. Fedoriuk said the opportunity to make Okanagan Adventure Park a local business was a big reason he was interested in buying it. He also has quite a bit of experience running an adventure park and his market was divested from a competitor. Okanagan Adventure Park features 20 zip lines, an aerial adventure course and a giant swing that will send its riders traveling up to 100 kilometers per hour. It’s the perfect place for a birthday party, a fun weekend event with friends, a first date, a family outing, a bachelor or bachelorette party, or even a work event. While Myra Canyon is geared more toward families, Okanagan Adventure Park is for more advanced adventurers—though there are courses that are perfect for ages five and up. Okanagan Adventure Park opened 10 years ago this summer as WildPay Element Parks, but went out of business in 2018. Another company opened it as Okanagan Adventure Park last July, but offered to sell it to Fedoriuk in January. To celebrate Okanagan Adventure Park’s grand re-opening this weekend, Fedoriuk has teamed up with Castanet for a free contest that will award one lucky winner two passes to the adventure course and ziplines. The competition ends on August 8th and you can enter here.
