Percy Perry Stadium, Multi-purpose stadium in Town Centre Park, Coquitlam, Canada
Percy Perry Stadium is a multi-purpose facility in Town Centre Park with a synthetic rubberized track and designated areas for jumping events like long jump and high jump, plus throwing competitions. The venue accommodates around 1,500 spectators and has complete lighting systems for evening events and year-round competitions.
The stadium opened in 1991 to host the British Columbia Summer Games and became a focal point for Coquitlam's sports development. Since then, it has grown into an important venue for regional and national sporting events.
The stadium hosts the British Columbia Highland Games each June, where visitors can watch traditional Scottish sports and live music performances. The event draws people from across the region who come to experience these cultural traditions firsthand.
The stadium is centrally located in Town Centre Park and is easy to reach on foot from downtown. For major events, arrive early to secure a good spot, as the venue can get busy and seating fills quickly during popular competitions.
In 2007, an unexpected international rugby match between Canada and Scotland was held here after weather issues affected the original venue. The event showed how the facility could adapt to host major matches on short notice.
