One of the many attractions in Ashcroft is Heritage Place Park aka Heritage Place 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 and 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.
There are dozens of informational signs including British Columbia Heritage Markers. As you are walking the trails in the park, you will discover a vast array of mosaics and murals including the Harmony Bell which displays four mosaics about the ethnic diversity of the area. There is a large gazebo where musical entertainment are held during the summer. (These events are temporally closed due to COVID 19) There is a working water wheel, old sod roof miner's cabin, an old caboose and a Highland Valley Copper truck.
