Love this recreation facility! Its a 10 minute walk and a 5 minute drive from our condo so no complaints there. If you're not as lucky as I am to be this close, come for the awesome drop-in badminton programs they have! Their badminton sessions usually have a pretty decent turn out and I'd say it's more for intermediate to advanced players. Don't be discouraged by the competitive Asian people playing and if it seems like nobody wants to play with you because they all know each other ... just remember, they're just Chinese people, not superheroes :)
The prices are reasonable and the parking free (well as I understand it, NOT technically, but I've never ever been ticketed or towed when I play badminton in the evenings.) You're in Coquitlam, the end of the universe as I know it, where land is cheap and space is a-plenty! Yee ha! No, wait that's Abbotsford. Anyway...
They have a very diverse selection of children and adult programs so there's bound to be one that meets your fancy and your budget. Staff are friendly. The best part? Coquitlam Rec's SignMeUp program. Check it out on their website. No more waiting in lines or being put on hold. Just sign up for a class online, quick and easy! read more
