In 2000 the community built a Millennium 2000 park for a cenotaph. Within a concrete and brick circle, the cenotaph is the centerpiece of the park, with benches placed around it and the Canadian, British Columbia and Coldstream flags flanking it. The cenotaph itself is a tall, rough hewn granite monument atop a broad, three tiered granite base, offset toward the rear of a large circle of brick pavers. The cenotaph contains a plaques in memory of those who fell in the Korean War.

Behind the cenotaph in the park is a shady grassed area for relaxation or picnicking.
