Playground Dedication

We are dedicating our park/playground in honor of John "Smiley" Nelson who has served as an RCMP in Crime Prevention/Community Policing. He was a frequent visitor to the elementary schools speaking on crime prevention. After working as an RCMP, "Smiley" worked as a city councillor with an emphasis on developing team sports in Kelowna.

As parents our goal is to create a safe place for our children to play and build friendships. We appreciate the work that Mr. Nelson has done and feel that our goals match up nicely with the work that he has done to enhance the lives of kids in our community.
