Splash and Skate-Watch at Rocky Point

Port Moody's waterfront park: free spray park, a regionally famous skate-and-bike-trials park, and the best spectating in the Lower Mainland.

Rocky Point gets all the credit for its sunsets, which is fair, but the daytime version has more going on than the scenic photos suggest. In summer, there's a free spray park to dash through when the sun finally shows up, which in the Lower Mainland counts as an event. The skate and bike trials park is regionally famous, meaning the people there are genuinely skilled and entertaining to watch: bring a bench, pick a skater, assign scores out of ten with increasing conviction. It's loud, it's free, and the waterfront hums with the kind of energy that makes a Tuesday afternoon feel worth leaving the house for. Bring a towel, dare your date onto the splash pad first, and treat the whole park as a date in its own right.
