The 1 mile sandy beach is the big attraction of the Sun-Oka Beach Provincial Park. The park boosts one of the largest day use areas in the valley equipped with picnic tables, a playground, washrooms, change rooms, boat launch and grass lawns. During the summer months there is a concession stand on site for drinks and snacks.

The lawns are decorated with trees providing shade during any sunshine days. The Sun-Oka Park was created to protect the Cottonwood trees in the park and the lakeshore.
