Peter Wing Rotary Rose Garden
Riverside Park Rose Garden was officially opened May 8, 1982. The Rose Garden was
re-dedicated August 1999 and is now officially "Peter Wing Rotary Rose Garden" to honor former
Kamloops Mayor Peter Wing (the first mayor in North America of Chinese descent).
A dedicated section, in Memory of Princess Diana, was created August 31, 1998 to honor the
memory of Princess Diana. The garden is a focal point for wedding pictures and recently
received upgrades to include a new Explorer Rose bed focusing on Canadian explorers.
Number of Rose Plants: 350-400.
