Have you taken a ride on the new SkyTrain extension to Coquitlam yet? Why not gather up the kids and do some exploring? According to TripAdvisor Canada reviewers, here are the city’s top three attractions.
1. Town Centre Park
Walk the 1.2-km lakeside trail around Lafarge Lake or take the kids over to the playground and skate park. This park was named Canada’s best public space in 2017 by the Canadian Institute of Planners. You’ll find free outdoor table tennis (BYO paddles and ball) and foosball tables near Percy Perry Stadium. Interested in fishing? The lake is regularly stocked with rainbow trout, and it’s just steps from Lafarge Lake-Douglas SkyTrain station.
2. Mundy Park
This 400-acre coastal rainforest urban park offers a lush escape from city life. Take a walk around its extensive trail system, totalling 16 km, and look for Lost Lake. The flat terrain is also great for bike riding.
3. Como Lake Park
Regularly stocked with rainbow trout, this small lake is a popular fishing spot, with a 1-km lakeside trail and a playground. It’s a great location for canoeing and kayaking.
