Təmtəmíxʷtən/Belcarra Regional Park

The 1,100-hectare park extends from Belcarra Bay to Sasamat Lake, featuring forests, hiking trails, rocky beaches, and mountain views along Indian Arm and Burrard Inlet.

In 1913, Vancouver obtained management rights for Admiralty Point lands, which were transferred to Metro Vancouver in 1972, leading to expansion near Sasamat Lake and Buntzen Ridge.

The park received its name təmtəmíxʷtən in 2021, meaning 'the biggest place for all the people' in the Tsleil-Waututh Nation's hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ language.

Visitors can access 26 kilometers of hiking trails and 9 kilometers of cycling paths, with White Pine Beach offering swimming facilities at Sasamat Lake.

The park contains protected eelgrass beds, woodlands, and wetlands classified as Environmentally Sensitive Areas, supporting diverse wildlife including bears, deer, and marine species.
