Brockton Point Totem Poles, Totem pole display in Stanley Park, Vancouver, Canada

Brockton Point Totem Poles is a display of carved wooden poles in Stanley Park, Vancouver. The poles stand in tall grass against a backdrop of trees, each with figures and birds painted in black, white, red, teal and yellow.

The collection began in the 1920s at Lumberman's Arch and was moved to Brockton Point in 1963. The poles displayed now are replicas or replacements, as the originals were sent to museums or returned to their communities.

The poles are not part of traditional Coast Salish culture but were brought here by settlers. Today they are carved by artists from several First Nations, and the nearby gateways by Susan Point show Coast Salish architecture.

The display is in Stanley Park, reachable on foot or by bike via the seawall. The ground is uneven and often muddy, so wear sturdy shoes and visit on a dry day if possible.

The Kakaso'las pole, carved by Ellen Neel in 1955, stood here for forty years before returning to the Museum of Anthropology in 2024. Neel was a renowned Kwakwaka'wakw carver who helped revive the art after the Potlatch Ban.
