Geocache Description:


The parking coords for this 2-stage multi bring you to Salish Park and the Chilliwack Library.

Salish Park is in the heart of downtown Chilliwack. It has paved walkways, a picnic area, and a playground. There is also a beautiful pond with water lilies, surrounded by benches where you can sit and watch the ducks (but please don't feed them). The area around the pond can be quite busy with people enjoying the park.

Where Salish Park now sits was once the location of the end and turnaround station of the British Columbia Electric Railway Company (BCER) tram line. BCER completed its 75-mile tram line from Vancouver to Chilliwack in 1910, spurring the growth of communities all along the extent of the BCER Chilliwack Line.

The Chilliwack Library started in 1930 with the Fraser Valley Book Van. The Book Van travelled from Ladner to Hope covering approximately 2,600 square kms, and stopped at general stores, schoolhouses, and gas stations along the way. The books on board constantly changed as books were borrowed and returned. The first director of Fraser Valley Regional Library (FVRL) was Dr. Helen Gordon Stewart, and HQ was in New Westminster with the main distribution centre in Chilliwack. Today the Chilliwack Library plays a key role in the FVRL and is a wonderful resource for the community.
