About Maillardville Community Centre

Operated by the City of Coquitlam, the new 22,000-square-feet facility, located at 1200 Cartier Ave., has a number of accessible features and doubles the size of the previous community centre. Amenities include the City's first dedicated gymnasium, children’s program area with large covered outdoor space, multipurpose rooms, teaching kitchen, sprung-floor fitness studio and much more. MCC opened Sept. 20, 2022, with initial offerings of sports drop-ins and try-it classes. Going forward, the community can look forward to a full range of recreation opportunities, including fitness classes, cooking classes, social activities and other educational programs.

Patrons of MCC also have access to the City’s Financial Assistance for Recreation program, as well as the ONE PASS, which provides discounted access to City-operated community recreation facilities.
