Ashcroft Visitor Centre

Relocated to a new location in 2016 it is now at the entrance to the Heritage Place Park. Though a rather small building it offers a walking tour map of local attractions, a coloring book, pamphlets on local businesses and what to enjoy in Ashcroft. There is also regional information and maps. The young lady that helped us was informative and friendly.

One of the many attractions in Ashcroft is Heritage Place aka Legacy Park is a well maintained interpretive park decorated with artifacts and buildings representing the history of the region. Within the park are a series of short walking paths with interpretive signs marking each exhibit documents the early days of the railway and mining industries.

The park is a wonderful place to visit while in Ashcroft with huge trees, shaded benches and picnic tables. Throughout the park are several murals and mosaics. When we were there the visitor center and washrooms were open. There is parking on both sides of the park. The park is approximately 2 acres in size, though it is long and narrow.
