Minoru Park is a park located on the site of a former horse-racing track and airstrip in Richmond, British Columbia.
The park's running track is often used by School District 38 Richmond for school competitions, such as track and field. The area is home to the Minoru Arenas, Minoru Track, Minoru Aquatic Centre and Richmond Cultural Centre (which in turn houses the Richmond Public Library's main branch, City of Richmond Archives, Richmond Art Gallery and Richmond Museum). All these facilities account for the bulk of community services offered by the city.
Minoru was one of the first major aviation hubs in Western Canada.
