The Osoyoos council committee has approved a Parks and Trails Master Plan update, which aims to meet the evolving needs of the community over the next two decades. The plan includes detailed implementation information for Gyro Park and focuses on equitable distribution, accessibility, social connections, conservation, and sustainability.

Key features of the updated plan include universal design principles to ensure that all parks are accessible to people of all ages and abilities. Additionally, the plan takes into account demographic changes, particularly the expected growth in older residents over the next 20 years. The Osoyoos tourism system is a strong motivator for visitors, but concerns about tourist behavior in parks and trails have also been considered.
