Park and Facility Projects
Ongoing Projects
The City is building outdoor sport and recreation amenities for shared school and community use on the same site as the Burke Mountain Middle/Secondary School, in partnership with School District 43.
The City is planning a new community centre and adjacent park on Burke Mountain to meet the needs of current and future residents of the growing Northeast Coquitlam neighbourhood.

The Coquitlam Crunch Trail is a popular outdoor recreational destination in Coquitlam. A long-time destination for fitness enthusiasts, the Crunch trail sees about 50,000 users each month during peak summer season. Coquitlam is planning to extend the popular to the south, eventually connecting to Mundy Park.

Cottonwood Park is undergoing a major multi-year expansion that started in 2018.
Cunnings (Field 7) Artificial Turf Renewal
The artificial turf field has reached the end of its useful life and is being replaced in order to continue to meet the needs of our community.
The field will be closed for 6-8 weeks starting July 2026, and will re-open in time for the fall season.
Mechanical improvements and tank repairs were recently completed at Eagle Ridge Outdoor Pool. The facility is now ready for the 2026 swim season.
More maintenance work is scheduled for the coming fall, after the 2026 swim season. The work is part of necessary upkeep to help extend the life of the pool and keep it in good condition for years to come.
The City, in collaboration with Beedie Fraser Mills Limited Partnership (Beedie Living), is moving forward with the planning and development of public amenities in the future Fraser Mills neighbourhood. This includes parks, a community centre (with a pool) and public art.
Follow along as the project progresses at LetsTalkCoquitlam.ca/FraserMills.
The first phase of improvements for Glen Park are moving forward, with upgrades to the dog off-leash area, initial trail updates and adding a forest-inspired nature play area shared with School District 43 planned for summer 2026.
