Peace Arch Provincial Park — Attraction in Surrey

We entered via Canada. There are no signs what so ever until the border for the Peace Arch Park, we read a lot on the net about where to park, and BC Parks sites says " The parking lot for Peace Arch Park is situated on Semiahmoo First Nation land. BC Parks subleases the parking lot from Semiahmoo for public use". But Google maps shows a different location for the parking which is 37 min away from the Peace park walking. Because we didnt want to enter USA we tried to be careful. long story short, when u teach the little square continue following up Peace Arch Border sign, there are 3 lanes, the 2 on the left which are also busy and have a queue,those are Border lines, the one on the right goes to the parking for the park. You can park there and enter the park walking. a few things to note "Only use pedestrian crosswalks" do not walk on the rail roads, and have a form of Canadian ID with you as there are patrols all over the park, they didn't check us. there are toilets on both sides, lots of seating areas and and a couple of water eatery on Canada end. Def enjoyed the park a lot. thank you to the association that made it...

So grateful for this park, hadn’t seen my mom in almost 8 months due to covid, then we heard about this park that lets you visit your American Family. This park is in no mans land it sits in between the border building so it’s not anyone’s but is split between a Canadian maintained side and an American maintained sides there are rules to follow while visiting here. Rules to follow though; Stay within the park, must wear a mask or stay 6 feet apart unless eating, no overnight camping and no tents on the one side of the park. On the Canadian side the parking lot is closed so you have to park pretty far away but it’s worth the walk. They have a washroom that’s very well taken care of, wear your mask inside. We even saw a wedding take place. Can’t believe it took so long for me to hear about this place. The Canadian side of this park is closed but the thankfully the American side is still open to both countries. We brought our passports just in case. There are several border guards posted on both side so they can keep an eye on...

We take for granted that the US and Canada are peaceful neighbors, but that wasn't always so, and I can think of a couple of neighboring countries that are less than peaceful. I also can't help but think of how this contrasts with the other end of I-5, Being able to wander back and forth between two countries like one can here is no small thing. I also appreciate how beautiful this place is and what a good job BC has done in maintaining this park. It is well worth the visit, no matter what side of the border you come from. Do watch where you park. If you make the first left into the Duty-Free shop parking, you will have to go to the United States, and all the fun going through a US border crossing entails. Also, if you do park in the actual lot, note that you can make a left turn on BC 99, even if it isn't marked. That's at the second...
