Update for March 11

11 March 2025

We are advising residents, parkgoers, and user groups that phase two of Pioneer Park and 7th Avenue Improvements is scheduled to recommence on March 17, 2025. Construction is scheduled to occur Monday through Friday, 7:00 am–5:00 pm. Completion is anticipated on May 2, 2025.

The City of Kamloops contracted Extreme Excavating to construct a multi-use path within Pioneer Park. This work, which was scheduled to be completed October 2024, was delayed by the loss of the Red Bridge and Ministry of Transportation and Transit efforts to secure and clean up that site. Extreme Excavating will be taking over the site from the Ministry of Transportation and Transit when they depart in March.

Fencing will be set up on the south side of the trail during construction of the multi-use path. Pioneer Park and the parking lots off 7th Avenue will remain open. Access to the dog beach will be restricted during construction. Please obey all signage and stay out of delineated work zones.
