How to get to Evergreen

The number one reason people give me to not come to a PSWE concert at Evergreen Cultural Centre is that Coquitlam is just too far away.  Members of the PSWE board had the conversation about travel times and I was amazed at how close Evergreen Cultural Centre really is.  Our two board members who live furthest from Coquitlam calculate that it actually takes less time to get to Evergreen than any of the major concert halls in downtown Vancouver.  Our president comes from Abbotsford and obviously must drive through Coquitlam to get to Vancouver.  The big surprise was our board member from West Vancouver.  Driving time to downtown Vancouver from Caulfield is about 25 minutes.  Then you have to find parking. The driving time to Evergreen Cultural Centre from Caulfield is about 30 minutes and parking is easy and free!  Obviously, if you live in the West End, you can walk to the Orpheum, but from most places in the Lower Mainland, Evergreen is a lot closer than you think!

So how do you get to Evergreen?  It's so easy!  If you're approaching from the Trans-Canada head north on Lougheed Hwy.  You will have likely taken the Cape Horn exit and followed signs that say Lougheed Hwy East or to Port Coquitlam/Maple Ridge.  You will travel along Lougheed until it turns into Pinetree Way at Coquitlam Centre Mall.  You are continuing to travel north (toward the mountains).  Keep going.  Once you've passed the mall, you will get to Guilford and you will see Evergreen Cultural Centre on the north-east corner.  Find parking through the first driveway on your right.

You might prefer to use the Barnet Hwy if you are coming from the north side of Vancouver or from the North Shore.  If that's the case, you can follow the major traffic patterns through Port Moody (along St. Johns) and either travel all the way to Pinetree Way (at Coquitlam Centre Mall) and turn left and follow the directions above or jog left at Ioco Rd as you are coming out of Port Moody and turn right on Guilford Way.  When you get to Pinetree Way, you will see the Evergreen Cultural Centre.  Turn left and make an immediate right into the parking lot!
