01AT A GLANCE
The details that matter.
The Lower Mission grew out of lakeshore orchards into Kelowna's most complete family neighbourhood: schools, the H2O Adventure Centre, Mission Creek's greenway and a shoreline that runs from Gyro Beach to Sarsons. Lakeshore Road's resort-condo corridor — Playa del Sol, The Shore, Aqua and Caban — makes it the city's resort-living address too.
