Gardens

Japanese Garden

A vacation should be relaxing, and the Penticton-Ikeda Japanese Garden provides a peaceful setting in which to take a deep breath and contemplate life; it was created in honour of a relationship between Penticton and the city of Ikeda, Japan. Rocks, trees, water, and plants foster a serene rest-stop for visitors who wish to unwind after an active day of wine touring, golfing or water-sport activities. The garden is located at the East end of the Lake Okanagan waterfront, not far from the Yacht Club and Art Gallery.
