Citadel Landing, Port Coquitlam

Nicholson Road is an ongoing photo project aimed at sharing and celebrating the different communities in Metro Vancouver. Each week Vancouver Is Awesome will be featuring an image from the previous week, shot in one of the many 'hoods around town in order to draw your attention a little bit outside of the hyper-focus that we usually have on the City of Vancouver.

Citadel Landing, Port Coquitlam

Citadel Landing sits at the base of Mary Hill, over the bypass, right next to the Fraser in Port Coquitlam. I know I've mentioned it before, but one of the things I love about Port Coquitlam is the super amazing Traboulay PoCo Trail: a multi-use path extending about 25km all the way around the city. Since Port Coquitlam is bordered by the Fraser River, the Coquitlam River, and the DeBoville Slough, a major percentage of the trail is right on the water - check the map (pdf). When it's time for a break, the trail offers quite a few spots to sit and have a breather, and take in the beautiful sights.

With the incredible popularity of Stanley Park and the seawall all around downtown and False Creek, it's sometimes easy to forget that many of the other communities in Metro Vancouver have pretty excellent trail networks for running, biking, roller blading, moon shoeing, or whatever else suits your fancy. Summer is nearly here so why not adventure out somewhere new?
