Heritage
Park is a sleeve of green space on
the shores of Okanagan Lake in the heart of downtown Peachland,
British Columbia, Canada. The park is situated on an open grass
lawn with views of Okanagan Lake fronted by a totem pole. The
park is near a wharf and is an ideal spot to observe the water
activities on the lake.
The park is a popular destination for families
and includes a playground, picnic tables, a picnic shelter and
sitting benches.. Washrooms are located across the street in the
museum.
At one time the park was the site of a fruit
cannery. In 1955 the cannery closed its doors. In 1979 the cannery
caught on fire and burned to the ground. In its place the locals
banned together and built a community park. The park was a welcome
addition compared to the old rusted and abandoned cannery.
