What is Hockaday Park, at the north end of River Springs?

Hockaday Park is a riverfront City park on the Coquitlam River with a viewing platform, a small sand beach and interpretive signage, and a playground built into the natural terrain with climbing structures, swings and open grass. It is the park the City uses to tell this pocket's history, including the 1930s Steelhead Lodge era on the Oxbow Ranch site.

Why do River Springs streets have Hollywood names?

The City states that in the 1930s Karl Jacobs and actress Clara Guiol bought the Oxbow Ranch, renamed it Steelhead Lodge and built cabins as a fishing lodge and Hollywood hideaway, rumoured to have been visited by film stars of the era. Several streets in the River Springs area were named after those famous visitors, which is why the street names here differ from Burke Mountain's.

How big is the river parkland beside these houses?

Hockaday Park at the north end adds the viewing platform, sand beach and playground on the same riverfront.

Does the river flood or change beside River Springs?

The City also recorded trail erosion repairs on the river's east side below David Place in August 2026, so the bank beside this pocket is monitored and repaired, not static.

What did houses in River Springs sell for?

The median house sale in River Springs was $1,205,000, across 5 sales from November 1, 2025 to October 22, 2026.

River Springs by home type

River Springs: streets and boundaries

  • River Springs is a river pocket on Shaughnessy Street on the east bank of the Coquitlam River in northeast Coquitlam, with David Avenue on its south side and the Coquitlam River and Coquitlam River Park on its west, and the City publishes no official boundary for the sub-area name.
  • Hockaday Park, on the river at the north end of the pocket, is the City page that names the River Springs area directly and describes its riverfront setting.

River Springs: rules that affect buyers

  • Hockaday Street is a named wildfire interface location: the City's Community Wildfire Resiliency Plan 2021 lists Hockaday Street among its interface neighbourhoods, describing it as an older interface neighbourhood, and lists Oxford Street north of David Avenue as another nearby interface location.

River Springs: local details a buyer would not know

  • The Oxbow name is still a working City label, not just history: the City's instream-works list calls the site "Coquitlam River at Oxbow, River Springs" for gravel removal from outlet pipes.
  • Hockaday Park's playground is built into the natural terrain, with climbing structures and swings, rather than a flat field park like the Burke Mountain athletic sites.
  • The City's wildfire plan singles out this pocket's age as a factor: it describes Hockaday Street as an older interface neighbourhood, with more residences, on average, in the interface discussion.

River Springs: costs and taxes

  • Coquitlam is a designated taxable area for the provincial Speculation and Vacancy Tax, so a River Springs owner must complete the annual declaration.
  • The River Springs-specific cost is flood construction, not the tax rate: a lot in designated floodplain must meet the flood construction level in Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 section 519.

River Springs: getting around

  • No bus route is published on the interior Shaughnessy Street length of the pocket in the TransLink routings read, and no SkyTrain station is in the pocket; the station connection is Coquitlam Central, southwest across the river.

River Springs: risks and due diligence

  • Check the Interface Wildfire Risk Management Development Permit Area for Hockaday Street lots: the City's wildfire plan lists Hockaday Street as an interface neighbourhood, so a forest-edge lot here carries both a river check and a wildfire check.
