Mentoring Program for Children
and Youth in Coquitlam

City Centre Aquatic Complex

Splash around in the wave pool, dive into the Olympic-sized swimming pool, or enjoy the slide and lazy river at this Coquitlam aquatics facility.

Zone Bowling

Enjoy some friendly competition with your mentee with a 5 or 10-pin bowling game at this local alley. Bowling offers a fun backdrop for conversation and bonding with your assigned young person.

Climb Base5

Drop into this welcoming climbing gym to introduce your mentee to indoor rock climbing and bouldering. Both of these activities offer both a physical and mental challenge that builds perseverance and confidence over time.

To participate in these activities, a signed permission form by a parent or guardian is required.

Planet Ice

Drop in for some public skating, work on stick handling and shooting skills, and watch or participate in a drop-in ice hockey game. This is a great way to encourage your mentee be active indoors in the winter, especially if they are a hockey fan.

Ninja Tag

Get some exercise and entertainment at the same time as you run and jump through a multi-level arena to tag as many illuminated transponders as possible within your time limit. Bumping music and futuristic glow lighting make this a fun, unique way to spend some time.

Place Des Arts

Check out the latest exhibition or a special event at the home of Coquitlam’s arts community. A great place to foster an appreciation for local arts as well as to participate in workshops to encourage your mentees artistic expression.

Coquitlam Public Library

Public libraries are an incredible source of free education and entertainment resources as well as a safe place for a young person to spend time outside their living environment. Encourage your mentee to explore the free resources available, including computers, audiobooks, music, and special events.

Cineplex Coquitlam

Enjoy a movie day and discuss the film afterward with your mentee. Watching a film you are both interested in is a great way to spend a few hours out and pass time on a rainy day.

Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame

Explore the achievements and legacies of local athletes in the community. Browse over 1000 square feet of displays and tributes that honour athletes, teams, and volunteers. Plus, you can combine this with a visit to the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.

Trapped Escape Room

Experience thrilling escape room games with your mentee to have fun while developing problem-solving skills, team building, and learning to think outside the box.

Town Centre Park & Lafarge Lake

Shoot some hoops on the basketball court, practice your volleying skills on one of the sand volleyball courts, enjoy a game of tennis, or simply walk around the scenic Lafarge Lake loop while admiring the local birds and gardens.

Coquitlam Hikes & Trails

Coquitlam Crunch, Coquitlam View Trail, Crystal Falls, Minnekhada Trail, Mundy Park, Woodland Walk Trail, and many more!

Mundy Park

This 178-hectare park offers many trails and sports facilities to enjoy. Play some pickleball, go for a stroll, or watch a local softball game.

Como Lake Park

Enjoy a short, easy, but beautiful walk on this one kilometre lakeside loop. Benches and picnic tables offer a great place to sit and chat with your mentee while enjoying the natural surroundings.

Eagle Quest Golf

Stop in for a fun game of mini golf or hit some balls on the driving range to get out some energy. This facility also offers foot golf, a unique hybrid sport combining the elements of soccer and golf.

Farmers Market

Visit the longest-running suburban farmers market in the Lower Mainland to get an appreciation for local vendors and products. From May through October, this weekly event showcases products made, baked, grown, or raised right here in BC.
