Park, Prince Rupert, BC, Canada: An elevated park
located in the centre of the commercial district of Prince Rupert,
BC. The park sits on a hillside on Fulton Street surrounded by
floral gardens, protected by Totem Poles and dissected by a paved
walking path connecting explorers to 4th Ave W.
Service Park is not only a connector
parkway but also home to two Totem Poles. One of which is the
Chief's Pole at Skedans carved-out with a Killer Whale, Rainbow
Person, Tcamaos (legendary creature that could roll-over canoes),
Eagle and 3 Watchen.
The rock cliffs, floral shrubs and cliff hanging
trees provide the backdrop for the towering Totem Poles. Behind
the poles, the walking path is steep and very short and leads
to some fantastic views.
Service Park is easy to access
becoming one of the better areas in Prince Rupert, B.C. to enjoy
a great view of the city, the harbour, the marine activity, the
mountains and the surrounding islands. It is an ideal destination
for binoculars and a camara on a clear day.
