Paradise Trails
A "Green" Equestrian Community Planned for Squamish
Paradise Trails is a unique, sustainable equestrian community planned for Paradise Valley in the District of Squamish.
The site borders the stunning Cheakamus River and incorporates the historic river trail which led to the gold fields. The rural lifestyle-oriented community will have housing lots developed around a central equestrian centre with indoor and outdoor riding facilities and services.
It will also include dedicated parkland, new riding trails for the general public to use and upgrades to the historic Cheakamus Trail which will also be dedicated to public use.
Canada’s First Master Planned Sustainable Equine Community
Tri City Properties is proud to be the first developer to respond to the demand for low density eco-friendly communities that incorporate equestrians lifestyle with sustainable building and development practices. The proposed community will address land conservancy by applying innovative sustainability principles and new green technologies to land use.

- The Trail System and Recreation Resources at Paradise Trails will be a design priority
- Heritage and Landscape Resources such as watercourses and riparian area setbacks will be preserved and enhanced
