The City of Williams Lake has installed a new accessible viewing pad in Boitanio Park, improving access to Performances in the Park and other events at the Gwen Pharis Ringwood Stage.

Located at the top of the hill facing the stage, the new viewing pad connects directly to an extended pathway designed to accommodate approximately five to six wheelchairs. The space allows individuals using wheelchairs, scooters and other mobility devices to comfortably and safely enjoy events in the park.
