BACKGROUND
Princeton Park is a 1.61 acre undeveloped park located at 1399 Marguerite
Street in the Upper Hyde Creek Neighbourhood in Northeast Coquitlam.
The park was acquired in two phases, in 2010 and 2013, when the
surrounding land was subdivided for development. At that time, minor
improvements to the western portion of the park were provided by the
developer.
When complete, the park will complement other recently completed parks
in the Burke Mountain area including Marguerite, Millard-Orchard,
Galloway and Queenston parks.

PURPOSE
To provide Coquitlam residents with an opportunity to review the process,
share ideas, suggestions and thoughts on the proposed park program and
desired amenities. This feedback will assist the City in refining a concept
design for City Council review and consideration.
WHY DO WE NEED A PLAN?
Princeton Park Concept Plan will help guide the future development of the
park in order to provide park amenities to best serve the local area. The
park plan will fit within the integrated system of parks and open space
amenities for the whole community.
