Thank you to everyone who participated in engagement opportunities for the Rocky Point and Old Orchard Parks Master Plans. The third and final phase of engagement concluded May 20, 2024. City presented a report with Phase 3 public engagement results at the Regular Council Meeting on July 9, 2024. See the agenda package (item 7.5) to view the report and the attached public engagement summary.

We’re drafting a comprehensive update to the existing Rocky Point Park Master Plan (adopted in 2000) and developing a new master plan to guide upgrades for Old Orchard Park. Both plans will provide a framework for decision-making over the next 10 years. Your input will help us ensure these unique outdoor spaces can continue to support our community into the future.

Phase 1 engagement

During Phase 1 engagement in July and August 2022, we asked participants how they use Rocky Point and Old Orchard parks today, and what they want the parks to be like in the future. Find out what we heard from the community. We used that feedback to develop draft design concepts and proposed actions.

Phase 2 engagement

During Phase 2 engagement in October and November 2023, we asked for feedback on the draft design concepts: three for Rocky Point Park, and one for Old Orchard Park. We also asked participants to share their thoughts on how we should prioritize potential improvements, as it's not possible to achieve everything. Find out what we heard from the community. Participants’ input was considered – along with technical information and advice provided by subject-matter experts – during the development of a recommended design concept for each park.

Phase 3 engagement

During Phase 3 engagement in April and May 2024, we asked for feedback on a recommended design concept for each park. City staff presented a report with Phase 3 public engagement results at the Regular Council Meeting on July 9, 2024. See the agenda package (item 7.5) to view the report and the attached public engagement summary. Council will consider the complete draft master plans for each park, including the final recommended design concepts, in September/October 2024.

Youth engagement

On May 31, 2024, the City hosted a Youth Open House, an engagement opportunity for youth to provide input on three parks/trails planning projects: Rocky Point Park and Old Orchard Park Master Plans, Parkland Strategy, and Trail Network Plan. City staff will present a summary of engagement results at the Regular Council Meeting on July 23, 2024. See item 7.6 in the July 23 agenda package to view staff’s report and the attached youth engagement summary.

    Dragonboating destination

    by JillR, almost 2 years ago

    With numerous dragonboat teams practicing out of Rocky Point (as well as a yearly regatta that brings many visitors) I would like to see a dragonboat dock that is accessible without having to take a dingy out to it. With the atmospheric river last year flooding our boats it would be ideal to have some coverage also.

    I realise that it would be very costly but I think that it's a great place for one I would also like to see pedal boats that could be rented from both parks and at high tied families could have a game of ball hockey in the boats I think that there is enough room on the right side of the old orchard park road to the water for people to walk there 10 or 12 ft aluminium boats to the water away from the swimers as long as they are using fat air tires that will not damage the...

    A young family in Port Moody

    by Allie, over 2 years ago

    I love this city. I have never felt so at home in a city. We want to grow and raise our young family in Port Moody - close to our family, friends, daycare, and small businesses we frequent.


    Living in Port Moody comes at a cost. We rent a townhouse. It has no green space for our kids to explore or run around so Rocky Point is our backyard. We walk our baby around the paved trail, we explore the forested area with our toddler, we picnic on the grassy space, we enjoy family swims at the pool, we host... Continue reading
