Zip line, splash park, skate park, and a long slide you're definitely too old for at Port Coquitlam's riverside park.
Lions Park, Lions Way (off the Coquitlam River)
More infoLions Park sits just outside downtown Port Coquitlam and runs on controlled chaos: a zip line, a splash park, a skate park where the regulars make falling look intentional, and a long slide that is technically for children yet impossible not to ride. Race the zip line to settle who slides first, then walk to the dike and rate the skaters like humourless figure-skating judges.
Park free off Lions Way - it fills fast on sunny weekends, so beat the toddler rush and arrive before 10am. The splash park runs May through September and is unapologetically aimed at kids, but the zip line and the big slide are fair game for adults willing to look slightly ridiculous - which is exactly the kind of low-stakes silliness that makes a date click. When you've worn yourselves out, grab a spot on the grass by the skate park and people-watch the bowl: it is the free dinner-and-a-show of PoCo, and rating each other's commentary is half the fun. Don't miss walking out onto the Traboulay PoCo Trail that runs right past the park to the Coquitlam River for two quiet minutes by the water before you leave - it resets the energy from playground to actual conversation. There's usually a food truck on-site to refuel.
