Smithers

Peace Park is a place of reflection for some as it is a memorial park. For others, the flutter of the three flags and the rumblings of the creek is what draws them to the sitting benches in the park. For some, the picnic tables and rainbow colors of the flower gardens draws them to the area.

107 Avenue

Dawson Creek

The park is a network of easy-grade trails looping together exploring eco systems in a forest arboretum. The trail system is lined with some sitting benches and interpretive signs describing the various sections of the forest's eco systems.
