Park is a small creekside
park in the Stoney Creek First Nation Village located south of
Vanderhoof, British Columbia, Canada. The small park is located
on Kenney Dam Road and overlooks the high banks of Stoney Creek
protected by two towering Totem Poles.
The park is centred around a war rock memorial
dedicated to the fallen soldiers from the First Nation Village
who died in the world wars. On each side of the rock monument
are two beautiful totem poles overlooking the creek.
The park borders the high banks of Stoney Creek.
When looking down there are little pockets of wetland reeds and
water lillys. The reeds provide shelter and protection for the
local bird wildlife.
Starting at the rock memorial and the totem poles
there is a gravel walking path following the river into a stand
of trees. Hidden among the trees are various picnic tables and
picnic sites to enjoy a shaded lunch and take in some creek views.
Not far from the park in the village is a large
potlach building used for traditional ceremonies and events held
by the local First Nation people. The log constructed building
located in the village can hold up to 250 people.
The park is located on the same driving route taken
to access the Greer Creek Falls Trail
and the Home Lake Trail. From Sai'kuz Park
on the Kenney Dam Road continue driving to the intersection with
Kluskus Road. Turn onto Kluskus and follow the gravel road for
40 kilometres to the first trailhead.
