Welcome to the Penticton Safety Village!
Thank You for a Great 2026
As October wraps up, we want to thank everyone for your patience this year while we finished construction and made the move to public access. We’re so glad to have you back on the grounds!
Washrooms Closed as of November 1
The City of Penticton will be winterizing and closing the washrooms on November 1. They will stay closed until the Spring. There are no washrooms onsite during this time, so please plan ahead before visiting with little ones.
Public Access
The grounds remain open to visit through the winter. Our team isn’t onsite and we don’t monitor weather or ground conditions, so please check conditions before you come and use your own judgment, especially with young children. Snow and ice can hide bumps and hazards. Snow and ice maintenance is handled by the City of Penticton.
Private Bookings
Private bookings, including birthday parties, are available by request over the winter. Get in touch and we’ll do our best to make it work.
The Quiet Season
Winter is when our society applies for grants, plans for the year ahead, and works with new sponsors and partners. No events are scheduled during this time. If you notice any concerns with the grounds, please report them to the City of Penticton Parks Department.
Thank you again, and we look forward to a great 2027!
Public Access
Public access is available when the Safety Village is not in use for our programs or private bookings, from 8 am to 8 pm daily. Below are todays hours, and the calendar shows the public hours coming up.
During Public Access times, no Safety Village Society staff are on-site and bikes are not provided, so visitors must bring their own bicycles and helmets.
Please contact the City of Penticton for any concerns during Public Access hours.

Who We Are
Penticton Safety Village is located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Syilx, Okanagan Peoples. The Village has been a cornerstone of the community for over 40 years, providing a vibrant space for biking, events, and comprehensive safety education.
Managed by a non-profit organization, this unique mini-village boasts a network of streets, buildings, and a Fire Safety House. Each year, it welcomes thousands of children, offering essential lessons in bicycle safety, pedestrian awareness, and emergency response training, thereby becoming an integral component of regional educational initiatives.
