Christie Memorial Provincial Park was a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada, located in the town of Okanagan Falls at the south end of Skaha Lake.
The park was established on 5 October 1965, in remembrance of RCAF Pilot Officer Robert G. Christie, DFM. Christie was serving as a Navigator (flight officer) with No. 97 Squadron RAF when he was killed in action 23 September 1943. As the only serviceman from Okanagan Falls killed in action during World War II, this Provincial Park was named after him.
