2024 Completed Projects

October 17, 2024 - New garbage cans have been installed at Shoreline Park. These updated bins replace the old ones, offering a friendlier solution for waste disposal. The updated garbage can features a wide, centrally-located foot pedal that’s easier to operate. Additionally, the main slot has been redesigned to be easier to open, requiring less effort to deposit trash if you are unable to use the foot pedal. This thoughtful design minimizes refuse buildup in the opening, keeping it cleaner and more hygienic. This upgrade is part of the City's commitment to improving the amenities in our parks while maintaining the natural beauty. Thank you for helping us keep our parks clean!

PMAP has been identified as a potential location for the installation of an irrigation well to reduce the reliance on City water to drive down watering and create a much more sustainable sports facility. Amidst escalating concerns over the intensifying drought conditions in our region, the implementation of this well system couldn't be more timely. With water scarcity becoming an ever-pressing issue, this proactive approach serves as a model for prudent resource management in the face of climate uncertainty. By adapting to these challenges, the complex not only ensures its operational resilience but also reinforces its role as a leader in sustainable development, setting a precedent for communities grappling with the impacts of climate change.

August 14, 2024 - Shoreline Park is a popular destination park that sees many visitors per year. Given the high usage of the trail and proximity to homes, the City hired Diamond Head Consulting to do a Tree Risk Assessment that focused on evaluating the likelihood of tree failure, the potential impact, and the severity of consequences in the event of a failure. Results from the assessment revealed that 20 Black Cottonwood trees pose significant risks due to poor health and structural issues. For the health and safety of the Park, these trees will be removed. The work will take approximately 2 weeks, with an estimated completion date of Friday, August 30. Parts of the trail will have temporary closures related to the tree work, see the web notice and FAQs for up to details.

Hoffmann Park Tree Removal
Update July 11, 2024 - Please be advised, the removal of decayed trees at Hoffmann Park is complete. The project is ahead of schedule, and safety concerns have been resolved. Hoffmann Park will reopen to the public at 3pm Friday, July 12, 2024.
Crews will be onsite next week for the clearing of debris and lumber but the park will remain open.
June 27, 2024 - Several Douglas-fir and Western Hemlock trees in Hoffmann Park have significant decay from Phaeolus schweinitzii . This is a root and butt rot fungus that attacks the roots and the lower 10 feet of the stem. As this decay progresses, wood loses its structural integrity, making the trees vulnerable to breakage and wind throw. This rot poses significant risks to public safety and compromises the overall health and resilience of the forest stand.
Prioritizing safety and sustainability, the removal of ten Western Hemlocks and six Douglas-fir trees will begin on Tuesday, July 2, 2024, and will take approximately three weeks to complete. Once the safety concerns have been addressed, further investigation and soil analysis will be done to determine future management and replanting efforts.
For the safety of workers and the public, areas of the park will be closed while the work is in progress.

Proposed Plans for Harris Road Park and Pitt Meadows Athletic Park (PMAP)
The City of Pitt Meadows is developing a new master plan for Harris Road Park. The intent is to re-imagine the park as a community park dedicated to passive recreation, social gatherings, and public events. The plan proposes to retain some existing features of the park and introduce new elements to enhance its character and function. This plan is intended to ensure Harris Road Park continues to serve as a vibrant park space for the community.
The City of Pitt Meadows is developing an expansion plan for Pitt Meadows Athletic Park. The expansion plan is spurred by the City’s recent acquisition of the Amenity Lands site, an eight-acre parcel of land adjacent to the existing park. The expansion plan proposes to introduce new sports and support facilities to the site as well as integrate this area into the existing park. The plan is intended to ensure the expanded Pitt Meadows Athletic Park continues to meet the active recreational needs of the community.
Your input will help develop the future of Harris Road Park and Pitt Meadows Athletic Park.

March 2023 - Mitchell Park has been assessed and staff have concluded that the current playground has aged out and needs to be replaced. The park has the potential to become one of the most visited parks in the area due to its proximity to the City Centre and the large open space it offers.
The park management team has initiated a Request for Proposal (RFP) process to solicit playground design proposals from qualified contractors. The new playground designs will be available after the RFP process is complete. The team is looking for designs that are not only fun and engaging but also safe, durable, and inclusive for all visitors.
The current location of the playground has become problematic due to its low-lying position and susceptibility to flooding. Therefore, the park management team has decided to select a new location within the park for the new playground. This location will be chosen based on factors such as accessibility, visibility, and safety.
Estimated Design Phase Project Timeline: Spring 2023
Estimated Completion Timeline: End of 2023
