New Horizons is a quiet, established, residential neighbourhood between the Coquitlam River and Pipeline Road, David Avenue and Lincoln Avenue.
Neighbourhood amenities
The Coquitlam River that runs along the edge of New Horizons, is a natural oasis. Salmon and even the occasional trout provide sport for fishers. A network of trails that line the riverbanks is great for hikes or just a casual stroll. And for the more adventurous, an inner tube ride down the river can provide cooling relief on a hot summer’s day.
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.
