With more than 35 per cent of its land dedicated to green space, Port Moody has a wealth of beautiful parks and trails for everyone to enjoy.

Run, walk, cycle, or wheel through Rocky Point Park or along one of our multi-use paths. Dig in the sand or skip stones on the water at Old Orchard Park. Take the kids to a playground or a splash park. Bring your dog to an off-leash area.

If hiking is your thing, you’ve come to the right place. Port Moody has 56 kilometres of trails and paths. Whether you choose the trails in Bert Flinn Park or the Alfred Howe Greenway, or head to the start of the Shoreline Trail or the Trans Canada Trail, you can’t go wrong.

Launch your boat for a day on the water, or rent a kayak or canoe. There are so many ways to enjoy our seemingly endless shoreline.

Need to cool off in the summer? Beat the heat in one of our outdoor pools. Feel like staying indoors? Our Recreation Complex is open year-round. You’ll find a weight room, aerobics studio, walking track, hot tub and steam room, curling centre, and two ice arenas. Look for drop-in programs.

In Port Moody, art is accessible, and integrated with the environment. You’ll find art in a variety of forms, and in a variety of places, from natural settings like parks and pathways to urban spaces like civic buildings and SkyTrain stations.

Don’t miss the POMO Museum, located in the city’s 1908 Canadian Pacific Railway station, and the POMOArts, located in the Old City Hall (built in 1913) and the Centennial Appleyard House (completed in 1910).
