[edit] Location

Braeside Drive with a glimpse of Burrard Inlet

Westridge is located on the western slope of Burnaby Mountain. It is sliced almost in half by Inlet Drive. 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. The eastern half of Westridge climbs quite steeply up Burnaby Mountain. Westridge is located near Simon Fraser University to which it is linked by the newly built Burnaby Mountain Parkway.

[edit] Transportation

A local landmark

Westridge used to be served by #135 bus that runs between Downtown Vancouver and SFU but the bus does not make a loop around the neighbourhood pub any longer. It is still the nearest bus route with stops along Hastings Street. There is also the suburban #160 running along Inlet Drive that serves commuters from Port Coquitlam.

[edit] Parks and recreation

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