Coquitlam Town CentreBritish Columbia

Coquitlam Town Centre is the area the City of Coquitlam plans as City Centre: about 7 square kilometres with three Evergreen Extension SkyTrain stations (Coquitlam Central, Lincoln and Lafarge Lake-Douglas, all opened December 2, 2016), a West Coast Express stop at Coquitlam Central, and Town Centre Park.

Town Centre Park covers 42 hectares (103 acres) around Lafarge Lake, on a former gravel pit. The City Centre Aquatic Complex at 1210 Pinetree Way and the Evergreen Cultural Centre at 1205 Pinetree Way stand beside it. Percy Perry Stadium, sports fields, ball diamonds and tennis courts are in it. The City runs Lights at Lafarge there each winter, which it calls Metro Vancouver's largest free outdoor winter lights display.

The City Centre Area Plan sets the land use. Parks and civic zones cover about 30 percent of the plan area, the R-1 and R-2 house zones about a quarter, commercial zones about 14 percent, and apartment zones under a tenth. Bill 47 sets minimum densities within 800 metres of the stations the Province has listed, which in Town Centre are Coquitlam Central and Lincoln. Lafarge Lake-Douglas is not on that list.

School District 43 shows its catchments only through an address lookup, so this page names no school. Enter the address in the district's school locator before paying for a catchment.

Coquitlam Central is a West Coast Express stop on weekdays in the rush hours only, with five trains west to Waterfront Station in the morning and five east in the afternoon and evening. Coquitlam Centre is the shopping centre. It is not the same as Town Centre, which is the planning area around it.

Day-to-day amenity concentrates around Town Centre Park: 42 hectares (103 acres) around Lafarge Lake, with Percy Perry Stadium, sports fields, ball diamonds and tennis courts inside it. The City Centre Aquatic Complex and the Evergreen Cultural Centre stand beside it, and the Lakeside Loop around the lake is 1.2 km.

Each winter the City runs Lights at Lafarge in the park, which it calls Metro Vancouver's largest free outdoor winter lights display. Coquitlam Centre, the shopping centre, is a separate place from the City Centre planning area around it.

Three Evergreen Extension SkyTrain stations sit inside the neighbourhood: Coquitlam Central, Lincoln and Lafarge Lake-Douglas, all opened December 2, 2016.

Coquitlam Central is also a West Coast Express stop on weekdays in the rush hours only, with five trains west to Waterfront Station in the morning and five east in the afternoon and evening.
