Upgrades Coming for Percy Perry 

Mid-May until Fall 2023 

Improvements are coming to Coquitlam’s Percy Perry Stadium at Town Centre Park as the City prepares for a full replacement of the track and artificial turf field.

From mid-May until fall 2023, the rubber track and artificial turf field in the centre of the track will be closed while the replacement and improvements take place. Other facilities including Mobilio and Fridge fields, change rooms, washrooms and covered seating area will stay open during construction.

While the track at Percy Perry Stadium is being replaced, visitors are invited to try alternative walking loops, such as Town Centre Park Walking Loops or the Indoor track at Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex (633 Poirier St.)
