What it actually is ## What Mundy Park actually is. Coquitlam’s largest urban forest — a genuine block of woods in the middle of the city. Most city parks are a field with a path around it. Mundy is different: it’s a real second-growth coastal forest — roughly 176 hectares (435 acres) of Douglas fir, western red cedar and hemlock — sitting square in the centre of Coquitlam, bounded roughly by Como Lake Avenue, Hillcrest Street and Mariner Way. You can walk into it and, within a few minutes, feel like you’ve left the city behind, even though family streets sit just beyond the tree line on every side. That combination — big, quiet, forested, and dead-central — is what makes Mundy the outdoor anchor of this part of Coquitlam. Locals run its trails before work, walk dogs on its loops, swim at the outdoor pool in summer, and bring kids to the playground and picnic areas. It’s the reason so many of the neighbourhoods around it — Ranch Park, Como Lake, Chineside, Austin Heights, Harbour Chines — trade partly on “you’re minutes from Mundy.” This isn’t a neighbourhood you live inside — it’s a place you visit. But because I’ve spent 47+ years in Coquitlam, I know exactly how much that park access adds to the homes that surround it, which is the part of the story that actually matters if you’re buying or selling nearby. Trails & lakes ## The forest, the loops, and the two lakes. Mundy’s interior is a connected web of forested trails — kilometres of them — ranging from wide, flat gravel paths to rooty single-track. Here’s how locals actually use it. ### The forest loop trails The classic Mundy outing is a loop through the second-growth forest. The trail network connects into a perimeter loop that most walkers and runners orient around, with shorter interior routes branching off it. Surfaces vary from easy gravel to natural dirt single-track, so there’s a route for a gentle stroll and a route for a proper trail run. The park is open year-round; winter can be muddy, so plan footwear accordingly. - [See all Tri-Cities hikes & trails →](/hikes-and-trails-coquitlam-tri-cities/) - [Compare: the Coquitlam Crunch →](/coquitlam-crunch-trail-guide/) ### Mundy Lake & Lost Lake Two small lakes sit inside the forest. **Mundy Lake** is the more visited of the two, an easy walk from the main access with a loop trail around it. **Lost Lake** is quieter and more tucked away — a protected, marshier pocket deeper in the woods. Both are worth the walk for the change of scenery from pure forest, and both are sensitive habitat, so stick to the trails and keep dogs under the posted rules around them. - [All Coquitlam parks & trails →](/coquitlam-parks-and-trails/) - [Nearby: Como Lake Park →](/como-lake-park-coquitlam/) Facilities & things to do ## What you can actually do at Mundy. Beyond the trails, Mundy packs in the facilities you’d expect from Coquitlam’s flagship park — and a few you wouldn’t. Sports fields & lacrosse box Fields, diamonds & a box Mundy has sports fields and ball diamonds plus a covered lacrosse box, which host Coquitlam youth sport through the seasons. It’s one of the busier field clusters in central Coquitlam. Used by Coquitlam youth associations Spani Outdoor Pool Open since 1970 The Raymond L.

Wooded course Playground & picnic areas Family day-out There’s a playground and picnic areas near the main access, making Mundy an easy family destination — forest walk, a swim at the pool in summer, and lunch under the trees. Near the Hillcrest access The fenced off-leash dog park Mundy has a dedicated fenced off-leash dog park on the **west side of Mariner Way, south of the Chilko Drive parking lot**, with **separate enclosures for large dogs and small dogs**. Off-leash rules on the wider park trails vary by area and time of day and change seasonally, so always confirm current rules on the City of Coquitlam parks page before you visit.

I know exactly how much daily park access adds to a Ranch Park, Como Lake or Chineside home, why the pockets on each side of Mundy price the way they do, and what an established central-Coquitlam house is actually worth once you factor in the walk-to-the-trees lifestyle.
