Some of Penticton’s outdoor recreation facilities will soon be available for bookings.

As part of the city’s phased reopening process, McLaren Arena and select sports fields and parks will be available for bookings beginning July 6.

Groups who wish to rent these facilities must submit a COVID-19 safety plan, the city said in a service announcement.

The Penticton Community Centre, Museum & Archives and the Cleland Theatre will remain closed until further notice.

Additional announcements are expected soon, according to the city.

The city has given customers who hold valid recreation passes an extension to their pass equal to the duration of time the facility is closed. This includes those who hold one, three, six and 12 month pool, fitness room and combo passes.
