Penticton-Ikeda Japanese Garden

If you’re looking for a peaceful little escape right in the heart of Penticton, the Ikeda Japanese Garden is a hidden gem worth exploring with the family. Tucked beside the Penticton Art Gallery and just steps from the lake, this garden offers a quiet, calming space that’s perfect for a slower-paced outing.

The garden features winding pathways, traditional Japanese landscaping, and a beautiful koi pond filled with large, colorful fish. Kids will especially love watching the koi swim around.

There are benches throughout the garden, making it easy to sit and soak in the peaceful vibes. While there aren’t any washrooms inside the garden, public facilities are available nearby at Okanagan Lake Park.
