Building on the momentum of Kelowna's Year of Sport, Wildstone is proud to be part of the design-build team, alongside Stantec and Populous, that is working to develop the concept for the City of Kelowna's proposed $25-million modernization of the Apple Bowl, announced today!
The vision is to strengthen the Apple Bowl as a leading multi-use sports and event venue, expanding year-round community access and positioning Kelowna as a potential future home for a Canadian Premier League club by 2028.
Proposed improvements include:
🔹 A new east grandstand adding approximately 3,000 seats (5,000 total)
🔹 Upgraded washrooms, locker rooms, concessions and storage
🔹 A new scoreboard
🔹 VIP suites and broadcast-ready functional areas
🔹 Artificial turf field conversion
🔹 Entrance plaza integration with the Parkinson Recreation Centre site
The project is subject to Council's budget approval, and the City will work with community sport and recreation partners to inform the final design, with opportunities for public comment as planning advances.
We're honoured to be helping shape what's possible for this Kelowna landmark.
