Burke MountainBritish Columbia

Burke Mountain is a set of newer neighbourhoods on the slope in northeast Coquitlam. The City's plan layer shows four plan areas on the mountain: Smiling Creek, Lower Hyde Creek, Upper Hyde Creek and Hazel-Coy. Together they cover about 377 hectares.

Smiling Creek, Lower Hyde Creek and Upper Hyde Creek have adopted neighbourhood plans. The City lists Hazel-Coy under its Northwest Burke Vision, which is still pending. Partington Creek, a fifth plan area, borders them on the east.

Sampled from 30-metre elevation data, Hazel-Coy sits highest, with a median of about 220 m. Smiling Creek's median is about 165 m, Upper Hyde Creek's about 145 m and Lower Hyde Creek's about 80 m.

School District 43 runs Smiling Creek Elementary and Leigh Elementary inside the boundary. The district is building a combined middle and secondary school on Burke Mountain, with planned completion in fall 2027.

There is no SkyTrain station. Lafarge Lake-Douglas is 2.3 to 4.7 km away in a straight line, and TransLink routes 188 and 191 reach it from stops inside the boundary. Pinecone Burke Provincial Park touches the Hazel-Coy area.
