Port Moody.
Port Moody is the smallest of the Tri-Cities, including the east end of Burrard Inlet and bordered on the east and south by Coquitlam and on the west by Burnaby. To the northwest and north, respectively, are the settlements of Belcarra and Anmore, as well as the rocky Coast Mountains. It was named after Richard Clement Moody, the Colony of British Columbia's first lieutenant governor.
A deep-sea bulk loading terminal, two petrochemical distribution businesses, a big wood products company, and a thermal power generating station make up Port Moody's historic industrial sector.
The arts and cultural industry has been a focus of Port Moody's economic growth in recent years, including the creation of a new Port Moody identity as the "City of the Arts." Port Moody has one of the largest concentrations of arts and cultural jobs in the region, accounting for around 6% of total employment.
Because of its scenic landscape, and ambient lighting, Port Moody has long been a popular location for artists. It hosts yearly festivals, artistic organisations, and a variety of amenities that assist to foster a creative culture.
The Port Moody Arts Centre features three distinct art galleries with a variety of continuously changing works, as well as a number of fine arts and photography workshops for locals of all ages.
The Port Moody Station Museum houses a diverse collection of relics from the city's past, as well as a restored vintage railway venosta that may be toured. Arts Connect is a non-profit organisation that brings together Tri-Cities artists and holds regular artist circles.
Rocky Point Park is located in Port Moody. Hiking paths, a freshly rebuilt spray park, a skate park, a bike trials park, a playground, a picnic shelter, a boat launch, and a recreational pier are all part of the park's 9.4 acre area. The park is a summer destination and hosts Golden Spike Days.
Bert Flinn Park is a 340 acre park on former industrial property that is mostly undeveloped. Mountain bikers use the park, which also includes an off-leash dog walk and a large unmarked trail system along old logging roadbeds.
Another attraction in Port Moody is Old Orchard Park. It is located right across the inlet from Rocky Point Park and serves as the northern terminus of Shoreline Trail. In a calm park environment, it features a sandy beach, a picnic shelter with barbecues, and an adventure playground. Old Orchard Hall, which is utilised for weddings and other special occasions, is also located here.
