Paint in the Park

2025 Paint in the Park

This summer, artists of all ages and skill levels are invited to enjoy a new creative space at Como Lake Park (700 Gatensbury Street). Until mid-September, this temporary artist pavilion is available near the south parking lot of the park, offering a scenic and inspiring location to paint, sketch or simply take in the view. Open during regular park hours, the pavilion is free to use and welcomes everyone.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Como Lake and the surrounding mountains, the pavilion provides an ideal setting for solo creativity or collaborative art-making with friends. For more information about the temporary pavilion, please contact ArtsAndCulture@coquitlam.ca

In addition to the drop-in space, a series of artist-led workshops will be offered throughout the spring and summer. These guided sessions are designed to encourage creativity and connect participants with the natural beauty of the park.
