Four New Pickleball Courts

Bramble Park

Reminder: Construction at the Crunch

Lansdowne Parking Lot Improvements

Heads up – the Lansdowne Drive parking lot at the Coquitlam Crunch will be closed for construction. The gravel access road and parking lot will be paved and expanded, reducing on-street parking demand.

While improvements are underway and parking is affected, trail users are encouraged to use other forms of transit.

Ice Cream, You Scream

Best Places in Coquitlam

Hot days call for cool treats, and right now, we can all use a little cooling off. Thankfully, in Coquitlam, we have a whole world of icy desserts to choose from.

There are the usual ice cream offerings and you can also up the ante with some Korean-style shaved ice desserts, ice-cream sandwich buns or some of the most unique ice cream flavours around.

There are also two great options for ice cream in Town Centre Park. In addition to the concession at Percy Perry Stadium, Rocky Point Ice Cream is open adjacent to the festival lawn.
