Westridge, British Columbia

The western half of it lies close to the shores of Burrard Inlet and the railway tracks on which West Coast Express runs between Downtown Vancouver and Port Moody.

Westridge is located near Simon Fraser University to which it is linked by the newly built Burnaby Mountain Parkway.

The biggest natural attraction in Westridge, in addition to the hiking trails of Burnaby Mountain itself, is Barnet Marine Park with its beach and views of Burrard Inlet and Indian Arm.

The small Westridge Park west of Inlet Drive near its intersection with Hastings Street offers a children's playground and some tennis courts.

In July 2007, a large oil spill from a Kinder-Morgan pipeline ruptured by Cusano Contracting, working for the City of Burnaby, caused a major ecological damage to local residents' homes, the forested slopes, and the marine wildlife on the southern shore of Burrard Inlet.
