The Evergreen Line terminus beside Lafarge Lake, Town Centre Park & Douglas College
The short answer
Lafarge Lake–Douglas is the eastern terminus of the Evergreen Line, set beside Lafarge Lake, Town Centre Park, Douglas College, and Coquitlam City Hall. It pairs newer condo living with the best green space of any Tri-Cities station. Downtown Vancouver is roughly 45–48 minutes by SkyTrain.
Being the end of the line is an advantage here: trains start empty, so you’re likely to get a seat for the whole ride, and the station sits next to Coquitlam’s civic and recreational heart. For buyers who want a newer condo with parkland and a college at the doorstep, Lafarge Lake–Douglas is a distinctive option.

| City | Coquitlam (Town Centre) |
| Opened | December 2016 |

As the terminus, this station is where Evergreen trains begin, so westbound riders board first and usually get a seat. Downtown Vancouver runs roughly 45–48 minutes with the Expo Line transfer; Coquitlam Central (West Coast Express, bus exchange) and Lincoln (Coquitlam Centre) are the next two stops in.
It’s marginally the longest downtown commute of the six Tri-Cities stations, but the seat-from-the-start factor and the parkside setting are real offsets.
Housing is newer condos and townhomes, with Douglas College students adding steady rental demand. The signature draw is location: you’re beside Lafarge Lake and Town Centre Park — the venue for Coquitlam’s major festivals and the Lights at Lafarge — plus the aquatic centre and city facilities.
For buyers who want transit and density but refuse to give up green space, this is the Tri-Cities station that delivers both.
Town Centre Park and Lafarge Lake offer a 1.5 km lake loop, trails, sports fields, and the City’s flagship events. Douglas College’s Coquitlam campus, the Coquitlam Public Library, City Hall, and the aquatic/recreation centre are all within walking distance.
Coquitlam Centre and the full Town Centre retail base are a short walk or one stop toward Lincoln.
