What was once seven acres of disused farmland has been reimagined into a vibrant hub for sport and recreation at Port Coquitlam’s newest high school. Guided by the vision of the City of Port Coquitlam and designed by the DMG Group, Landesign transformed the site into a multi-sport destination that now serves students and the wider community year-round. 

The redevelopment introduced two full-size natural grass playing fields, four tennis courts, a lacrosse box, and a baseball diamond, all framed by tree-lined pedestrian paths that connect the amenities. The result is a space that promotes physical activity, fosters community pride, and supports both school athletics and local sports programs. 

For Landesign, this project reflects our commitment to creating high-quality, functional landscapes that inspire connection, performance, and long-term enjoyment.
