Parkette next to city hall officially opened
The parkette – a great new community gathering space downtown, next to Cranbrook’s City Hall on 10th Avenue South, is now officially complete, thanks to partners including JCI Kootenay, the Cranbrook Chess Club and the Columbia Basin Trust.

The parkette is another important piece of the city’s ongoing effort to actively enhance Cranbrook’s downtown core. Other initiatives over the years have included the downtown patio bylaw, permanent art placements, the sculpture walk and community events like the Fall Festival and Winter Blitzville.
