Port Moody is one of the “Tri-Cities” in Metro Vancouver, offering a unique blend of waterfront charm, forested hills, and urban amenities. With a population of about 33,535 as of the 2021 Census, it’s the smallest city among the Tri-Cities — but it punches above its weight in livability and character.

Whether you’re a family seeking balance, a professional wanting access to Vancouver, or someone who loves trails and shoreline views — Port Moody offers something for everyone. For a deeper look at city services, visit the City of Port Moody website

Parks, Trails & Waterfront Recreation

Port Moody is well known for its scenic outdoor spaces and waterfront trails.

Rocky Point Park & Shoreline Trail

Rocky Point Park is one of the city’s flagship parks, located along the Burrard Inlet. It features an outdoor pool, splash pad, skateboard park, boat launch, trails, picnic areas, and performance spaces.

The Shoreline Trail extends around the inlet, connecting to boardwalks, viewpoints, and natural areas. You’ll find opportunities for walking, cycling, wildlife observation, or simply enjoying that connection to water.

Belcarra & Sasamat Lake

Just outside Port Moody, Belcarra Regional Park and Sasamat Lake are beloved escapes. Trails, swimming, and forested surroundings make them excellent for day trips. 

Community & Green Initiatives

Port Moody is also active in ecological stewardship. Over 41 streams run through the city to the Burrard Inlet, and local groups like the Port Moody Ecological Society work on stream restoration, volunteer hatcheries, and public education.
