Westwood Plateau is a neighbourhood in the northern region of Coquitlam, British Columbia.
It is named for Westwood Motorsport Park which existed on the plateau before the community was built, and was closed in 1990 to make way for real estate development. Hampton Park Elementary School was built on top of the actual raceway.
