A new leisure space is open to the public at the top of the village stroll outside the Tourism Sun Peaks office.

The space includes picnic tables, a ping pong table, a large-scale chess and checkers board and a bean bag toss game.

The games are free for the public to use with rackets, balls and game pieces available on site. The ping pong equipment, and large chess and checkers pieces will be available during the day and put away at night to avoid theft or vandalism, according to chief administrative officer Rob Bremner.

“The residents had some concerns about people mingling later at night so the idea is our student (interns) will come in at night and take the chess and checker pieces in,” Bremner said.
