    CoQuitlam For Committee August 29, 2016 Our File: 12-6100-20/16-001/1 Doc#: 2365079.VI To: City Manager From: General Manager Parks, Recreation & Culture Services Subject: Town Centre Park Master Plan Update - Public Consultation For: Council-in-Committee Recommendation: That Committee receive the report of the General Manager Parks, Recreation & Culture Services dated August 29, 2016 and entitled "Town Centre Park Master Plan Update - Public Consultation" for information. Report Purpose: This report provides an update on the Town Centre Park ("TCP") Master Plan process and is intended to inform Council of the upcoming public consultation process. Strategic Goal: By creating a long-term plan for the amenities, facilities and infrastructure that supports the sport, recreational and cultural activities in the City's premier park, this initiative supports the City's corporate strategic goals of "Increasing active participation and creativity", "Enhancing sustainability of City services and infrastructure" and "Achieving excellence in governance". This project is identified as "B" Priority in the 2016 Business Plan. Background: Once the location of a gravel pit, the lands containing Town Centre Park were part of a historic industrial site that was reclaimed for public recreational use. TCP is now one of Coquitlam's largest urban parks at 42 hectares (103 acres) which serves both the City Centre neighbourhood and act as a City-wide destination park while also drawing visitors from across the Tri-Cities area. The innovative public/private partnership to repurpose the historical industrial space was the catalyst for development in City Centre and led to the opening of the City's premier park in 1989.
