Established in 1939 in the middle of town, the park holds 21 totem poles and a carved stone figure. Poles came from the old Haida villages of Howkan, Klinkwan, Sukkwan and Kolanglas; head carver John Wallace and Civilian Conservation Corps carvers restored and replicated them through 1942, and new poles have been raised in recent years. The park is open to the public.
