Wildlife

The Park is home to many species of local wildlife including bears, raccoons, coyotes, and barred owls. The wetlands at the north end of the park are home to many pond creatures including red-legged frogs and northwestern salamanders.

History

A referendum led to the creation of Bert Flinn Park in 1999. You can see evidence of the logging industry that flourished here in the early 1900s. Many of the trails are old logging roadbeds. You can find skidder roads and campsite artifacts in several spots around the park.

Off-leash dog area

There is an off-leash dog area available at the south end of Hugh Street. Make sure to leash your dog when leaving the designated area.

Chip Kerr Park at 2909 Hope Street is between Hugh Street and Williams Street. The Park has a playground available.

History

The park is named after John Chipman Kerr, who was born in 1887 in Fox River, Nova Scotia. In 1915, Kerr enlisted and served in the Canadian Expeditionary Force's 49th Battalion. During the Battle of the Somme at Courcelette, France, Kerr was instrumental in overpowering an enemy stronghold and capturing 62 prisoners. Years later, during World War II, Kerr re-enlisted in the army, transferred to the Royal Canadian Air Force, and was posted to Sea Island, B.C.

He moved to Port Moody in 1947 and lived in the McLean Residence, built around 1908 and named for one its original owners, Elizabeth A. McLean. Kerr lived in Port Moody until his death in 1963. Mount Kerr in Jasper National Park, Alberta is named after Kerr, as is Chip Kerr Park in Port Moody.

Old Orchard Beach

Old Orchard Beach is a designated public swimming beach throughout the year. Please note that dogs (on leash or off) are not allowed – we ask you to respect this restriction for the health and safety of the public and the protection of our sensitive habitat areas and local wildlife. A dog’s natural behaviours may disturb our wildlife, damage sensitive habitat, and have a negative effect on water quality.

On-leash dogs are permitted in other areas of the park. If you’re looking for a place to let your dog run free, try one of our off-leash dog areas.

Although it’s located at Old Orchard Park, Old Orchard Beach is part of Tidal Park, an environmentally-sensitive area that’s home to many nesting shoreline species such as purple martins, osprey, and great blue heron, as well as a biodiverse community of fish, shellfish, and other significant tidal species, that are sensitive to disturbances.

Tidal Park effectively joins the tidal flats of our shoreline parks – Old Orchard Park, Old Mill Site Park, Town Centre Park, Inlet Park, and Rocky Point Park – together into one large protected area. We’re responsible for the stewardship of the tidal flats through several long-term leases with the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority (Port of Vancouver). 

We appreciate your co-operation in preserving this special place for future generations to enjoy.

Labyrinth Healing Garden

The Crossroads Hospice Labyrinth Healing Garden is at Pioneer Memorial Park between City Hall and Crossroads Inlet Centre Hospice. The Healing Garden brings life and beauty to Pioneer Memorial Park.

History

Pioneer Memorial Park was created by a referendum on the November 1999 municipal election ballot as part of the Millennium Bureau of Canada Grant.

The area was the location of single-family homes, and many of the trees were part of residential landscaping. The landscaping has been enhanced with native plants and trees using Naturescape principles.

 Seaview Park at 1215 Cecile Drive features a playbox and a children's playground.

Tidal Park encompasses the tidal flats of our shoreline parks – Old Orchard Park, Old Mill Site Park, Town Centre Park, Inlet Park, and Rocky Point Park – and effectively joins them together into one large protected area. We’re responsible for the stewardship of the tidal flats through several long-term leases with the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority (Port of Vancouver). 

Tidal Park is an environmentally-sensitive area that’s home to many nesting shoreline species such as purple martins, osprey, and great blue heron, as well as a biodiverse community of fish, shellfish, and other significant tidal species, that are sensitive to disturbances. We ask that you avoid bringing your dog into this area, as a dog’s natural behaviours may disturb our wildlife, damage sensitive habitat, and have a negative effect on water quality.

Stay off the mudflats

Our tidal flats include mudflats. The mudflats can be dangerous and unpredictable – they may seem firm but can give way suddenly and can be like quicksand in some areas. It’s important that you stay off the mudflats year-round.

People and animals can sink, get stuck, and be unable to get out before the tide comes in. If you see someone who is stuck, advise them not to panic. Call 9-1-1 and ask for Fire Rescue.

Stay on the trails
Our trail system, which includes wooden boardwalks that wrap the head of the inlet, is designed so you can experience and enjoy our local wildlife while staying off the mudflats. Residents, visitors, and pets can stay out of danger, and help us preserve this special place for future generations to enjoy, by remaining on the designated trails.

While walking on trails through our Shoreline Park system, dogs must be on a leash. If you’re looking for a place to let your dog run free, try one of our off-leash dog areas.

We appreciate your co-operation in preserving this special place for future generations to enjoy.

Town Centre Park at 300 Ioco Road has an artificial turf sports field and five tennis courts available for your use. There is also access to the Shoreline Trail system.

Tennis court lights

Please note that the lights at the tennis courts are turned off in the winter season. We turn the lights back on in the spring, based on weather conditions.

Noons Creek Hatchery
