Sw̓iw̓s Park

sw̓iw̓s Park (formerly, Osoyoos Park, 1939–62, Haynes Point Provincial Park, 1962–2015, sẁiẁs Provincial Park, 2015–16) is a narrow spit jutting eastward into Osoyoos Lake. A provincial park in British Columbia, Canada, it is on the western shore of Osoyoos Lake southwest of the town of Osoyoos. The park is located near the Canada–US border at the southern-most end of the Okanagan region of British Columbia. About 38 hectares (94 acres) in size, the park was originally created in 1939 and named Haynes Point Provincial Park. In 2015, the name was changed by a provincial act from Haynes Point to sw̓iw̓s, the original Okanagan (Nsyilx'tsn) name for a crossing point in the lake, meaning "narrowing of the waters".
