A major park in Coquitlam’s City Centre neighbourhood that serves thousands of area residents is about to get another makeover more than a decade after its last re-do
This summer, city staff will reach out to the public to talk about what it would like to see in Glen Park, a 16.7-acre green space between Pipeline Road and Westwood Street.

The update of Glen Park was originally part of the city’s 1998 Parks, Open Space and Leisure Facilities Master Plan and, in 2011, council OK’d a park master plan to phase in improvements over the next 10 to 15 years.
In 2012 and 2014, the city added a new fenced off-leash dog area, a new park pathway, a new plaza and playground along Pipeline Road and cleared the site for a picnic area
As well, several hazardous trees came down.
In 2016, the city decommissioned the ball diamonds and a backstop, and irrigation went in to convert the sports field to “The Great Lawn.”
More features were supposed to go in over the years, such as:
• an extended park
