Trail Network Plan
Help us develop a trail network plan that will guide us as we manage trails and prioritize enhancements over the next 30 years.
We want to know:
- How do you use Port Moody’s trail network?
- What do you like about it and what can be improved?
Share your thoughts with us!
Fill out our community survey, drop a pin (or several) on a map, and/or join us to learn more and have your say at one of our on-trail pop-up information sessions.
Port Moody's trail network
Port Moody is home to an estimated 18.5 kilometres of trails managed by the City of Port Moody and the Tri-Cities Off Road Cycling Association (TORCA). Metro Vancouver also manages approximately five kilometres of trails in təmtəmíxʷtən/Belcarra Regional Park that are outside of the scope of this project.
The maintenance and enhancement of the City’s network of trails is a high priority for Port Moody residents. Our trails are a part of the city’s active transportation network, connecting different parts of the community. And they provide access to the City’s diverse forests and shorelines for a variety of purposes, including recreation and exercise, social connection, and the enjoyment of nature.
Why a Trail Network Plan?
In recent decades, Port Moody has experienced considerable growth in demand for use of trails and changes in the types of uses and trail visits. To meet this increasing demand, the City is reviewing the current trail network and looking at how to improve user experience.
The Trail Network Plan will define a vision for the City’s extensive trail network, and provide clear and coordinated direction for planning and managing our trails and trail-related amenities over the next 30 years.

Engagement on the Trail Network Plan
Work on the Trail Network Plan began in the spring of 2023 and is expected to be completed in 2024. Community engagement will take place in two phases. In the fall of 2023, we’ll focus on informing the public about the project and seeking input on public aspirations and concerns for the trail network. In early 2024, we’ll ask participants to provide feedback on the draft Plan and assess implementation priorities.
Here’s how you can get involved:
- fill out our community survey by October 4, 2023 – we want to hear your thoughts on the current network of trails in Port Moody and how it can be improved to better meet community needs;
