Reflection• During this project of mapping my community, I discovered many
different recreation centers that offered a wide range of sports and activities. Port Coquitlam has many trails for hiking, biking, and bird watching such as the Poco trail, and Colony Farm Regional Park. These trails are very popular because they are easily accessible, and contain dog parks, and playgrounds throughout. Minnekhada Regional Park is a hiking trail that overlooks the Pitt River. There were a number of recreation activities that I was not aware of before completing this project. One of them is the Burke Mountain biking trails which is popular for advanced mountain bikers, they must have proper bikes and safety gear, and these trail are much closer than travelling to Seymour Mountain to find mountain biking trails. Oxygen yoga and 30 minute Hit Kickboxing are two locations that offer specific recreation activities targeted to people who want to try something new and maintain an active lifestyle. Completing this project has made me aware of a number of different sports and activities that are offered in my community.
