Help Shape Fraser Mills Waterfront Parks and Community Centre
Official title: Fraser Mills Amenities
Coquitlam is planning a major waterfront development at Fraser Mills. The project includes parks, a community centre with a pool, and public art along the Fraser River. Public engagement happened in early 2024, and the city is now moving forward with Phase 1 park design.
Why This Matters
Live in Coquitlam or nearby? This new waterfront neighbourhood will bring parks, a pool, and gathering spaces to the Fraser River. It's a chance to shape what your community looks like for decades to come.
What Could Change
The city will build 4.7 hectares of parkland, restore 2.1 hectares of natural area, and construct a 50,000 sq. ft. community centre. Phase 1 park design is now underway, with construction expected between 2023 and 2033.
Key Issues
- What amenities should be included in the waterfront parks?
- How should the community centre and pool be designed?
- What public art should be featured in the neighbourhood?
