KELOWNA – Recent rain and cooler temperatures have reduced the fire hazard on Knox Mountain.

As a result, Knox Mountain Drive will fully open this morning, with the exception of Sunday, Sept. 11, when the road will be closed until 2 p.m. to accommodate the School of Hard Knox cycling race.

Knox Mountain Drive is open to vehicles 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday to Saturday, and noon to 9 p.m. on Sundays. Knox Mountain Park is open daily between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.

Residents and visitors are reminded that campfires and barbecues are not permitted in City parks, with the exception of barbecues on beaches. Smoking is also prohibited in all parks and public spaces.
