In June 2025, Council approved the Major Facilities Roadmap. The document maps out a potential timeline for the development and renewal of civic, recreation and cultural facilities over the next 30 years.
In addition to providing a guiding plan for Council and staff, the high-level document offers more transparency for residents by outlining the decision-making framework for when and how facilities will be enhanced, replaced and added.
From pools and arenas to cultural centres and public safety buildings, Coquitlam has over 120 civic facilities with more than 90,000 square metres of constructed space to serve our community.
Explore below a lecture series hosted by the City to discuss trends and innovations in public recreation facilities. Each lecture included locally and internationally practicing professionals in recreation who contributed their expertise in their respective fields. The lectures are intended to be educational events that encourage collaboration of specializations, ideas and visions for the future.
