One of the features of the park is this playground. It's pretty much centralized in the park, near the campground, near the washrooms, near the ball diamond, near most everything in fact. The entire playground is on a pea gravel base and boasts a collection play equipment - swings, slides, climbing equipment, a springy teeter-totter and two little backhoes for the future heavy equipment operators in the play crowd. Benches are placed strategically around the playground for the use of the supervision in attendance (Grandma & Grampa?).
Located on the shores of Kootenay Lake, Vimy Park boasts a children´s playground, a covered picnic area, a baseball field, a charming gazebo and a public campground. The park is the site, each year, of the annual May Days Celebration and the Maypole Dance, a tradition that has been kept alive in Kaslo, without missing a single year, since 1892. The park was dedicated in 1924 by Lord and Lady Byng. Lord Byng was the Governor General of Canada at the time. The beautiful gazebo in the centre of the park was built to celebrate Kaslo´s Centennial in 1993.
