Game Day Prep
Know before you go! Plan how you will get to the big game.
Gates open at 1 p.m. and kickoff is at 4 p.m.
Getting to the Apple Bowl
To help reduce congestion, spectators are strongly encouraged to walk, bike, scoot or take transit to the stadium.
There will be FREE Bike Valets and Lime Bike/Scooter Drop-Off Zones at the Parkinson Recreation Centre pickleball courts and the Kelowna Bible Chapel, located next to the Rail Trail. Bike Valets will be operational from 1 to 8:30 p.m. on game days.
If you plan to take a taxi/rideshare or get dropped off, please consider being dropped off outside the congested area (where it is safe to do so) and walk in. Otherwise please use the dedicated Drop Off/Pick Up Zone located on the newly cleared lot north of the Apple Bowl at the corner of Bernard Avenue and Spall Road, right entrance only off Bernard.
An Accessible drop-off area is also available at 1466 Spall Road. Please travel south on Spall Road and turn right into the collection area where site staff will be available to support.
Planning to drive? There is no public parking at the Apple Bowl. Pre-book your parking in advance at select pre-identified paid parking lots, many of which are walking distance from the stadium.
Parking & Shuttle Info
Shuttle service to Parkinson Recreation Centre will be available from the Evangel Church and Trinity Church parking lots.
Don’t mind a longer walk? Free parking will be available at Glenmore Elementary and Bankhead Elementary schools on a ‘first-come-first served’ basis.
Please give yourself plenty of time to park and make your way to the stadium. Please note that Parkinson Recreation Centre's parking lot will not be accessible on game-days and no RV/Camper or overnight parking is permitted in any lot.
Important Gate Information
Gate A is the primary spectator entrance at the Apple Bowl and should be used by all guests unless otherwise indicated on your ticket. Gate B is a secondary entry point for specific ticket holders only. Please check your ticket before you travel so you know which gate you must use.
Thank you for planning ahead and helping us create a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone attending Touchdown Kelowna. Gates open at 1 p.m. and there will be advance entertainment so please plan to arrive early and enjoy this historic visit by the BC Lions!
