Westwood Plateau is the northern region of the City of Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada.
It lies on 1,400 acres (6 km²) on the southern portion of Eagle Mountain, known locally as Eagle Ridge. It is named for the Westwood raceway which existed on the plateau before the community was built, and was closed in 1990 to make way for the real estate development. During the development of the area it was known as the "Street of Dreams". Schools/Recreation
