Glen Pine Pavilion
Glen Pine Pavilion is a vibrant, accessible community center for adults over 19, offering a warm and inviting space for socializing, and participating in leisure and fitness activities. The Pavilion is home to various activity groups, with support from the Glen Pine 50 Plus Society. This community board, staffed by volunteers, advises and assists the City of Coquitlam in providing exceptional senior adult programs, services, and activities.
Activity Groups and Clubs Update
Starting the Fall 2024 season, all Glen Pine Activity Groups and Clubs will move into the Drop-in (Pre-Registration Recommended) calendar in the SignMeUp registration system.
This gives you more flexibility to participate in your favourite activities matched to your schedule. You do NOT pay for the sessions that you are unable to attend. Booking in advance is optional but recommended for the more popular activities if you want to guarantee a spot.
Secure your spot online, by phone or in-person at a recreation facility. Online registration opens seven days in advance of the activity.
Participants can now use their ONE PASS or apply Financial Assistance for Recreation (FAR) credits towards these pre-registered drop-ins. Learn more at our Financial Assistance for Recreation page.

Coquitlam's Glen Pine Pavilion is a gold certified facility by the Rick Hansen Foundation, which recognizes excellence in accessibility and universal design. Glen Pine Pavilion has made several changes to reduce barriers and improve accessibility, such as creating accessible entrances and washrooms, installing hearing loops and other assistive devices, and providing adapted equipment. The facility is designed to provide an inclusive environment for everyone to enjoy, regardless of their abilities or means.
Adapted Equipment and Features
- Accessible entrances with power-operated doors
- Accessible parking
- Accessible washrooms and elevators
- Alpine Fitness Centre equipped with:
- Active Hands - Gripping aids, d-ring and hook aids available upon request to support use of fitness equipment.
- Nustep Machine - Inclusively-designed recumbent (sit-down) trainer allows users to experience a low-impact workout while seated.
- Upper Body Ergometer Machine - Resembling a hand bike, allows users to remain seated while using their upper body to pedal. It also has a removable chair, allowing a wheelchair access. Stability boots available upon request.
- Woodway Treadmill - Shock-absorbing slates on the treadmill surface provides a lower-impact option that may also help prevent injury.
- Hearing Loop System: Provides a magnetic, wireless signal that helps those using hearing aids pick up speech sounds more clearly by focusing on the loop system microphone, rather than all background noises. The signal is customized to each individual's hearing loss since it picked up by the hearing aid's T-Coil (Telecoil) setting.
