Okanagan Falls is a small (pop: 6000) town in BC's Okanagan Valley. The focus is on agriculture and the town is home to two wineries. Centennial Park is on the main street through the town (Hwy 97). It has a large grassy play area, great for a break for those travelling through, and a statue of Kenny McLean, the only rodeo cowboy to have received the prestigious Order of Canada.
The plaque reads:"Centennial Project honouring British Columbia's entry into Confederation".
