Pitt Meadows

Discover Pitt Meadows through its distinctive contrasts: the open first phase of the Pitt River Regional Greenway offers opportunities for walking, cycling and birdwatching, while the heritage-designated General Store and Post Office Site (1908) adds a historical connection. Local hiking trails, restored engines and a nature-focused destination also offer ways to explore the area. If you’re looking for a vacation rental, the focus of your trip can help guide your choice: river dikes and outdoor activities, architectural and technological history, or nature experiences.

River Dikes and Trails

The first phase of the Pitt River Regional Greenway is open and extends 10.2 km westward, from the waterfront park at Harris Landing at the foot of Harris Road in Pitt Meadows to Ferry Slip Road. The Greenway follows the dikes along the Fraser and Pitt Rivers, giving its route a clear connection to both rivers. The Greenway offers opportunities for walking, cycling and birdwatching. Depending on your interests, you can treat the route as a walking or cycling outing, or make birdwatching the focus. The 10.2 km length and the stated endpoints give the first phase a clearly defined geographical scope.

Pitt Meadows also has a hiking guide featuring 16 local trails to explore. If hiking is the main focus of your trip, you can consider these local trails alongside the Greenway. The hiking guide offers a specific selection of routes, while the Greenway also includes opportunities for cycling and birdwatching. This lets you plan your trip around your preferred activity without treating the different offerings as the same.

Architecture and Technological History

The heritage-designated General Store and Post Office Site (1908) is the oldest known building in Pitt Meadows. It’s a notable point of interest for travellers interested in the architectural history of a place. The Hoffmann and Son Site offers a different perspective, housing more than sixty restored stationary engines. The two sites represent different themes: one is a heritage-designated building, the other a collection of restored technology. If you’d like to include culture and history in your trip, you can consider which aspect interests you most—the history of a building or the collection of stationary engines.

Nature and Activities to Enjoy Together

Grant Narrows is in northern Pitt Meadows and serves as a gateway to the surrounding Pitt-Addington Marsh Wildlife Management Area. This makes it a clearly defined geographical point of interest for travellers interested in nature and wildlife. The Grant Narrows boat launch is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

The Bonson Park Disc Golf Course offers another activity. The course is open for play and located at 11546 Bonson Road, Pitt Meadows. It is designed for all ages and skill levels. For families looking to include disc golf in their shared activities, this is a specific option to consider. The exact address makes it easy to include the course as a named stop in your travel plans.
