Cougar Creek in Surrey  

Cougar Creek rises in the West Newton neighbourhood of Surrey, with headwaters emerging from culverts (rainwater drainage pipes) to the north on Strawberry Hill at approximately 122nd Street and 75th Avenue, to the east under the BC Hydro powerline right-of-way at approximately 125th Street and 69th Avenue, and to the south at approximately 122nd Street and 68th Avenue.

The headwaters join together at the southwest corner of Cougar Creek Park, and then flow west through man-made stormwater (rainwater) retention ponds, which compensate only in very small part for the loss to development of a marsh and lake that used to extend across what is now Scottsdale Mall and adjacent commercial and residential areas.

From the ponds, the creek flows westward in a straight and narrow man-made channel between two condo complexes, then through a large culvert under Scott Road (120th Street) and into North Delta adjacent to 6905 Scott.
