Peace Arch Provincial Park is unique in BC’s system of Provincial Parks. Its location abuts the 49th parallel, in southwestern British Columbia and is contiguous with and closely tied to the State of Washington’s Peace Arch State Park. Located at the Peace Arch Border crossing, where US Interstate 5 ends and BC Highway 99 begins, the park is the first thing vehicle travelers see as they enter Canada. The Peace Arch, for which the park is named, was dedicated in 1921. It is a monument celebrating both the 1814 signing of the Treaty of Ghent which ended the war of 1812 and established the boundaries between Canada and the United States, as well as a century of peace between neighbours that followed. With its formal lawns and gardens, this park is like no other in BC’s system of protected areas.
