This is the hub of downtown Duncan, and the location of the historic train station (now a museum) with a caboose for great photos.
It is also a starting point for a tour of the dozens of totem poles erected through the downtown area - just follow the "golden footprints" on the sidewalks. Placards explain the significance of each.
For more on indigenous art and culture, or to buy something to take home, be sure to visit Hills Gallery across the road on Station Street.

This is a great place to go on a hot day to cool off. It's a local favourite, off the beaten path. The park offers beautiful trails and the suspension bridge is not to be missed!
Take your chair, beach towel, floaties and a book.
There are washrooms and picnic area.
