COQUITLAM POCO POMO
SKYTRAIN As of September 2021, kids ages 12 and under can ride free on Metro Vancouver public transit: SkyTrain, SeaBus, West Coast Express and the bus (for the first three systems, children need to be accompanied by a fare-paying customer). On the Evergreen Extension, which is part of the Millennium Line, start your trip at the Douglas College-Lafarge station and check out the art show at the Evergreen Cultural Centre or do a loop of Lafarge Lake. You can also tour around the college or hop in the pool at the City Centre Aquatic Complex. Lincoln Station has a more commercial district, so grab a coffee- and caramelcoated bun (if you can!) from PappaRoti; these baked treats sell out fast. Coquitlam Central is the transit hub for the Tri-Cities, so you can board a RapidBus — which is 20 per cent faster than local buses — and travel east for
a trip out to Maple Ridge. Or you can walk north to Coquitlam Centre mall, which has bubble teas and an Apple store, as well as dozens of other shops and food options. From Inlet Centre station in Port Moody, you can walk north to grab a burger or wings at Mary Brown’s Chicken, in Suter Brook, or a sandwich from Gallagher’s Coffee in Newport Village. The Noons Creek salmon hatchery is just north of the Port Moody Recreation Complex and has a great educational component. Moody Centre is near to Rocky Point Park and Brewers Row, but there are also some fun shops in the neighbourhood, as well as PoMoArts (formerly Port Moody Arts Centre) and the Port Moody Station Museum. Along Clarke Street, take the family to Gabi & Jules for slices of handmade pies or book a time at Origins Parkour Studio off Spring Street. Burquitlam is the last stop in the TriCities and, because of SkyTrain’s arrival six years ago, the neighbourhood’s under major renovation. Still, with the new development comes new business, so try out BjornBar Bakery, which opened last October.
