Coquitlam Resident Access Rates and Hours
The City of Coquitlam has partnered with the YMCA to provide Coquitlam residents access to the Coquitlam Bettie Allard YMCA fitness and aquatic facilities at the City’s drop-in rates. That means if you are a Coquitlam resident, you do not need a YMCA membership to access this facility.
