College Heights Trail System
A network of paved and dirt paths connects neighbourhood parks, playgrounds and sports facilities in College Heights. The 6.4 km figure describes the network rather than one prescribed hiking loop.
Sources reviewed . This is a research date, not a trail inspection.
The published measurements describe the wider trail network. Your walk’s length and climbing depend on the trails you choose. The notes below describe the available walking options.

Getting there & parking
Access is spread throughout College Heights. For the North College Park section, the City lists entrances from Eton Avenue, Monahan Crescent, Moriarty Crescent and Simon Fraser Avenue. Choose the park or neighbourhood entrance nearest the section you intend to walk; there is no single trailhead for the whole network. Check street parking restrictions and keep residential driveways clear.
Map position: 53.86853, -122.76719 · park reference point derived inside official boundary. Official City ParkName=North College Park; OBJECTID=1374; active park polygon. Marker computed inside its largest polygon, checked against exterior and holes. Park location marker for orientation; not a source-published parking point or trailhead. Neighbourhood park existence does not establish a named hiking route.
Walking options
Use the park paths to create a short return walk or connect several neighbourhood parks. Fairmont, Gladstone, North College and Jean de Brebeuf parks have playgrounds, while other sections pass ball fields and outdoor rinks. Walking surfaces change between pavement and dirt, although the overall network is described as relatively flat. Keep the local street layout handy when linking segments, because a park-path connection may lead into a different neighbourhood rather than back to the entrance. Sports fields and playground areas have their own pet restrictions.
Terrain: paved.
