Kelso Beach Park
1804 2nd Ave West
Owen Sound, ON
 

Kelso Beach Park is a beach, a park,
a festival site and local history all in one!

  

Located on the shores of Georgian Bay at the mouth of the Pottawatami River, you can access the park by car via the Eddie Sergeant Parkway or by foot or bicycle following the city's harbour front walkway. The park offers views of the eastern shore of the harbour, interspersed with tall willow trees and boats in the distance. It's adjacent to the Georgian Shores Marina.

At Kelso Beach Park, you'll find a sandy playground, beach, picnic shelters, soccer fields and baseball diamonds, plus a children's splash pad, built by the Scenic City Order of Good Cheer. The splash pad is open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., from Victoria Day weekend until Thanksgiving Monday. The beach and splash pad are both unsupervised. A water advisory will be posted at the beach by the local health unit if it's unsafe for swimming.

Kelso Beach Park is home to some key annual festivals, including Canada Day Celebrations, the Summerfolk Music & Crafts Festival and the Salmon Spectacular Fishing Derby. Public camping is available across the road at the Kelso Beach Campground during major events.
