Pitt Meadows

Nestled between the mighty Fraser River and the majestic Golden Ears mountains, Pitt Meadows is a dynamic municipality with a growing population of just over 18,200.

Activities:
Plenty of golfing with 6 golf courses in the rural community and an extensive dyke system with a well taken care of trail system offers plenty of leisure strolls with new things to see all the time. There is a large playground at Harris Park with an outdoor pool and kids water park.
2.5/5

Events:
Although there is always something going on at the community park or Harris Park I was not impressed with their Canada Day festivities as they fell short in the organizational aspect of the scheduled programs.
3/5

View:
Lots of nature walks and great views of the Coastal Mountains in the distance, as well as a trail along the Fraser River.  You also can view some nice landscaping and structures with a stroll down the Commercial part of Harris Road.
3/5

Accommodations:
I have noticed 1 hotel in town and nothing else really advertised.
0.5/5

Dinning & Shopping:
A few local shops and some larger stores for shopping. Not too many restaurants but at least one for each style you are looking for.
2/5

Visit-ability:
You could spend a day here or 2 if you enjoy golfing but you would probably stay somewhere else or even camp at  nearby Golden Ears Provincial Park.
2/5

Total Rating: 13/30

Thoughts: Great place to spend a day if you are in the area but I would not go out of my way to visit.
