Coquitlam – Scott Creek

Scott Creek is a quiet residential neighbourhood adjacent to Coquitlam’s bustling Town Centre area. It’s bordered between Scott Creek and Johnson Street, Guildford Way and David Avenue.

Neighbourhood amenities

Scott Creek’s curved streets and courts provide a quiet, safe haven that’s still close to shopping, cultural,  and recreation amenities, as well as schools.
The creek for which the neighbourhood is named is flanked by a trail that climbs up towards Westwood Plateau for a vigorous workout or casual hike.
Nearby, Town Centre Park is Coquitlam’s showcase outdoor sport and recreation facility with numerous artificial and natural turf pitches for soccer, field hockey, field lacrosse, baseball, softball and football, as well as a track and field facilities at Percy Perry Stadium. For less rigorous recreation, the park also features walking trails that wind around Lafarge Lake, a five-hectare man-made lake that was originally a quarry.
Next to the lake, the Evergreen Cultural Centre features a 257-seat theatre for live performances, a rehearsal hall, art studios and an art gallery.
Across Pinetree Way, the City Centre Aquatic Complex hosts activities for the whole family, from a wave pool, to competitive swimming and synchronized swimming to fitness programs for all ages.
Next to it, the Coquitlam campus of Douglas College helps serve more than 14,000 credit students  and 9,000 continuing education students in programs that range from Criminology to Sport Science.
The Coquitlam Centre, which is also nearby, is one of British Columbia’s largest regional shopping malls.
