Old Orchard Park — Attraction in Port Moody

Old Orchard Park (600 Bentley Road) is at the northern end of the Shoreline Trail. It's directly across the Burrard inlet from Rocky Point Park.

It is a nice place to relax and enjoy the quiet park setting, the sandy swimming beach, and the picnic shelter area, or play on the adventure playground.

Closeby is the Old Orchard Hall located on the park grounds. It's a great venue for weddings and other special events.

Washrooms are located in the lower floor of Old Orchard Hall.

Nearby is Old Orchard Beach, which is a designated public swimming beach throughout the year. Please note that dogs (on leash or off) are not allowed.

On-leash dogs are permitted in other areas of the park, in addition there are specially demarcated off-leash dog areas.

Although it’s located at Old Orchard Park, Old Orchard Beach is part of Tidal Park, an environmentally-sensitive area that’s home to many nesting shoreline species such as purple martins, osprey, and great blue heron, as well as a biodiverse community of fish, shellfish, and other significant tidal species, that are sensitive to disturbances.

Tidal Park effectively joins the tidal flats of various shoreline parks – Old Orchard Park, Old Mill Site Park, Town Centre Park, Inlet Park, and Rocky Point Park – together into one large protected area.

Although it is a family friendly spot for picnics, this place is not ideal if you are looking to spend a beach day here. We were recommended Old Orchard Park by locals and had the absolute worst experience. The water is NOT safe to swim in as it's brown and smells like a sewage plant. There were zero signs indicating this, therefore we decided to take our raft into the water. When we got to the water we began sinking into the wet, mucky sand till we were knees deep, and within seconds our raft was filled with mud and baby crabs.

When we asked if there was a common hose or outdoor tap to use they said they were unaware and proceeded to...
