Visitor Information
There is limited on-site parking at Town Centre Park and, due to the popularity of this event, it can get busy. Visitors are encouraged to walk or take public transit.
If you’re driving to Town Centre Park, consult the the Town Centre Park parking map for other options and check the City’s digital parking counters to view real time parking availability. There are also additional parking lots around Coquitlam City Hall that can be accessed via Burlington Drive, as well as a TransLink Park and Ride lot located at the corner of Pinetree Way and Guildford Way.
To ensure parking is available for patrons of the Evergreen Cultural Centre, City Centre Aquatic Complex, and Town Centre Park Community Centre, visitors are to avoid parking in these lots during Lights at Lafarge season.
