A lovely park that caters for the kids. Feed the ducks and play in the fountains and laze in the sun.

Owner description:
Polson Park is located near the heart of Vernon, adjacent to Highway 97 and Highway 6. The park was established in 1908 when Samuel Polson donated a large parcel of land to the city. Located in the park is the Lawn Bowling Club, the Interior Space and Science Centre, the Arts Council and Vernon Heritage Hall.Polson Park is probably best known for the Floral Clock that was installed in 1958. The date is changed daily and it provides a great photo with its colourful background. Further into the park you will find the Japanese Garden, which was donated by the Japanese Community and the Chinese Pagoda, which was donated by the Chinese Community. Both were constructed in 1967 as Centennial Projects. The Rose Garden, a perennial favorite and also a Centennial project, is located in the south east of the park. Specific areas of the park can be reserved for your special event such as weddings, social gatherings and concerts.

Mature trees and places to sit make this a great park. Lots of shade if you are seeking respite from the blazing sun.

We now live on Kal Lake and two or three times a week I walk through the park to the coffee shop. Quiet and hidden in Vernon. I have been here for 10 years and only since I moved close to the park, did I realize how nice it is.
