Tennis and Pickleball Services and Facilities Strategy 2017 - 2037
The improvements to the Mariner Park tennis courts align with the goals of the Tennis and Pickleball Services and Facilities Strategy 2017 – 2037. This strategy provides a vision and sets the strategic direction for the delivery of services and facilities for these sports over the next twenty years. The goals are to set priorities for sustaining existing courts and facilities, as well as to provide for future needs as the community grows, as the sports evolve, and within the context of the Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan.

We acknowledge with gratitude and respect that the name Coquitlam was derived from the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ (HUN-kuh-MEE-num) word kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (kwee-kwuh-tlum) meaning “Red Fish Up the River”. The City is honoured to be located on the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem) traditional and ancestral lands, including those parts that were historically shared with the sq̓əc̓iy̓aɁɬ təməxʷ (Katzie), and other Coast Salish Peoples.
