After walking past the mural display of the park's history at the entrance, visitors come across the Totem Park that displays 25 totem poles collected since the 1930s. These poles were placed by the local natives at the invitation of one of the park's founders, to give it a native theme.
Visitors can also watch a native carver at work at the native carving centre.
On the other side of the bridge, visitors can take guided nature walks into the forest or browse around the interactive centre where they can learn about different types of trees from the west coast rainforest. The park, a 10-minute drive from downtown Vancouver, is a refreshing retreat from the bustling cosmopolitan city pace.
