Belcarra Regional Park (temtemixwten) is a 1,100-hectare (2,700-acre) regional park located in Belcarra, Greater Vancouver, British Columbia.[1] It is northeast of the meeting of Burrard Inlet with Indian Arm, beginning near Belcarra Bay and extending to Sasamat Lake. Sasamat is one of the warmest lakes in Greater Vancouver. The park is northwest of the Village of Anmore and to the southwest of Buntzen Lake.

Included in the park is a First Nations archaeological site, which is operated and maintained by Metro Vancouver Regional Parks.[2]

In October 2021, the park was renamed "temtemixwten", to reflect the Indigenous history.[3]
