Julia's Junction - an inclusive play space for ALL abilities

We are fundraising $825,000 to build Julia's Junction; West Kelowna’s FIRST fully inclusive playground. 

An environment where nobody is excluded from play as a result of their disability. Where caregivers with these disabilities feel comfortable visiting with their children. A 'junction' for our community. 

Learn more about the playground

Designed to accommodate all abilities & disabilities, whether physical, social, emotional, or cognitive, as well as friends and family of those with disabilities, Julia’s Junction will be a safe, and most importantly FUN space. Making friends, increasing self confidence, and building physical strength are just a few of the many important benefits of play, and everyone in our community deserves to experience that!


People with disabilities represent 5,500 residents in our community. That’s 1 in 6 people who live right here in West Kelowna! Including the families and friends of people with disabilities, there are close to 17,000 affected by the lack of fully inclusive playgrounds.

Double the fun! With the addition of Julia's Junction, Westbank Town Centre Park is going to be the destination for fun in West Kelowna,

The Playground

Inclusive ‘from the ground up’, Julia's Junction's universal, sensory rich design, will deliver the following recreational experiences:

Spinning, Swinging, Sliding

Multi-Sensory Play

Tactile Engagement

Music Experience

Social/Imaginative (Role Playing)

Safety, Comfort & Access 

By avoiding ramps, we can focus on pieces of equipment at ground level, so that everyone can access them and play together. There will be options for staying in your wheelchair, transferring out if you choose, having a quiet break to yourself when you need it, finding an interesting tactile experience and swinging to your heart's content.

Community Fundraiser Alert!

 Attention Businesses! Family & Friends! 

Do you have bottles & cans that you'd be willing to donate to help us build Julia's Junction? 

Without the mess of sorting, it's EASY to support us! 

1. Gather up all your refundable bottles & cans into CLEAR bags.


2. Bring them to a Return It Express Bottle Depot (in Kelowna, there are 3 - St. Paul, Kent, Dease Rd)


3. Head inside and find a kiosk, enter "250-863-9975" to pull up the Julia's Junction account, select how many labels you need, and print.
