There's a 70-ton historic sailing ship perched on the side of the road about one kilometre south of Winfield in the Okanagan, B.C. This ship is the landmark for Holiday Park Resort, one of Canada's finest RV and Condo Resorts. The ship was commissioned in 1903 as the Orchard City II, and ran charters and shipments for the sawmills up and down Okanagan Lake.
In 1948 a violent storm swept through the valley and sunk the Orchard City II. In the late 1970s, after thirty years on the bottom, she was raised from the depths, salvaged and restored to serve as the landmark for the resort.
Holiday Park was founded on the shores of Duck Lake in 1983 by Saul Sigal and Jody LaFontaine, and has grown from an empty field to become a year-round vacation destination for more than 3,000 members and visitors from 26 countries, every U.S. state and every Canadian province. The Resort includes 68 leasehold condominium units, 47 timeshare vacation condominiums, 500 leasehold RV sites and 58 rental RV sites - all fully serviced and landscaped.
Located just north of Kelowna, this luxurious RV and condo resort is surrounded by challenging golf courses, ski hills, crystal blue lakes, orchards, world-renowned wineries, art galleries, casinos, farmer's markets (seasonal), and festivals.
One and two bedroom condominium units from 372 sq. ft to 1,100 sq. ft., and all studio suites are beautifully decorated, spacious and furnished. On-site amenities and facilities include pools, hot tubs, sauna, billiards room, childrens' activity centre, on-site restaurants, executive par three - 6 hole golf course, biking, canoe and Kayak rentals, tennis and basketball courts, and more.
Holiday Park Resort continues to be family owned and operated. Dan Sigal, Saul's youngest son, is the Team Coach and President.
He oversees the business and is supported by a strong team of approximately 60 full and parttime employees. Together, they are devoted to ensuring the comfort and enjoyment of their guests.
Other extras include: heated outdoor pool (seasonal), outdoor hot tub (year round), childrens' playground, family activity area with billiards & games, horseshoe pits, high speed wireless internet, card table and more. With more than 25 years of experience in the vacation industry, Holiday Park Resort is a Four Seasons destination.
