Trying to beat the heat? If ice cream isn’t your thing, try out these fun ways around town to cool down this summer in Coquitlam near Aalto Townhomes!
Indoor and Outdoor Pools
What better way to beat the heat while still enjoying the sun than at an outdoor pool? The Eagle Ridge Outdoor Pool located just a short drive away from Aalto Townhomes, is the perfect place for the whole family. The facility includes a 25-meter pool with two diving boards, a large changeroom, and a large adjoining grass picnic area with trees that provide the perfect amount of shade.
However, if an outdoor pool isn’t really your thing or you don’t feel like lathering on the sunscreen, head to Coquitlam’s City Centre Aquatic Complex instead. This indoor facility includes an Olympic size swimming pool, a free-form wave pool with water sprays and a lazy river, a slide, and relaxation area with a sauna and steam room.
Spray Parks
Spray parks are another great option for staying cool while still being outside. Two notable spray parks in the Tri-Cities are the Rocky Point Spray Park in Port Moody and the Blue Mountain Spray Park in Coquitlam. Both parks offer a great variety of fountains and sprinklers to keep you cool. There is also plenty of green space to set up a picnic and dry off.
Coquitlam Centre
This air-conditioned space is a prime cool-down spot from the hot summer sun. Browse some of the top stores such as Hudson’s Bay, Best Buy, Sport Check, and H&M or grab a bite to eat in the food court. With over 900,000 sq ft of retail space, there is something to do, see and eat for every member of your family.
Movie Theatre
With all the big-name blockbusters coming out, summer is arguably one of the best times for movies. Apart from the regular theatres at Cineplex Coquitlam, adults can also enjoy the comfort of the lounge chairs and the convenience of the seated service in the 19+ VIP theatres. So, if it’s too hot outside to do anything, move your party to the movie theatre and have a relaxing afternoon!
