Major Marina Makeover
By Deborah Pfeiffer
Trio Marine Group has proposed an expanded 100-slip marina that features day rentals, seasonal rentals and recreational pleasure craft like PWC, kayaks and paddle boards.
Dock infrastructure upgrades are called for, and the bulk of the construction can be done locally in town with installation the only work to occur on the water.
A restaurant is included in the plans with operations slated for May to September, which could expand to year-round operations once demand is established.
One of the elements of the proposal includes a 110,000-square-foot water park featuring five large slides, a wave rider and splash pad items.
Several meetings with stakeholders like Tourism Penticton, Chamber of Commerce, Penticton Rotary, Dragon Boat Club and city committees are planned.
A meeting will be held June 29 to allow the public to have their say on the matter. The location for this is to be announced.
