The planned improvements will span about a quarter of Town Centre Park, the gem of Coquitlam’s park system and a local and regional destination for festivals and recreation.
The concept improves capacity and the overall user experience, enhances safety and access for people of all abilities, and augments the park’s trees and greenery. Three distinct zones are proposed:
- A Garden Walk on the east side of the lake, with plantings for year-round visual interest, a network of secondary trails and seating areas, lighting, new lawn areas and, if budget permits, tiered steps to the water next to the TD Community Plaza;
- An Urban Walk on the west side with new lighting, outdoor furnishings for social gathering, and a two-stall universal washroom near Evergreen Cultural Centre (currently under construction and set to open in the spring); and
- A Forest Walk on the south side, featuring a widened asphalt trail with sections of boardwalk, extensive tree planting, lighting and new meandering trails.
A public consultation process was completed in October 2020. Visit the engagement project page at letstalkcoquitlam.ca/towncentrepark.
The detailed design, implementation plan and budget is currently under way, to be presented to Council and the public in late July 2021.
