Craig's insider intel
Mundy is Coquitlam's catch-all. After work it's where you go for a 45-minute trail run on the Perimeter Loop. On a Saturday morning with the kids it's the disc golf course on the west side — nine holes, all under 300 feet, free, and you'll be done in an hour. Lost Lake is worth the spur but no swimming (it's protected turtle habitat).
The pool changed everything. The $32M renovation that reopened in 2025 added a leisure pool with a lazy river, an inflatable obstacle course, a climbing wall, and eight 25-metre lap lanes. 2026 public swim opens May 30 and runs through September 7. At $2 drop-in this is the best summer-pool deal in the Tri-Cities — it's also the busiest, so plan around it.

Trails — Coquitlam's biggest urban trail network
Mundy's trail system is wide enough to give you a different route every visit. Surfaces are mostly gravel and dirt with sections of community paved path. Mundy Park has two lakes — Mundy Lake (no swimming, dogs not permitted) and Lost Lake (protected turtle habitat, swimming not permitted).
What else is at Mundy
Mundy doubles as Coquitlam's de facto sports and rec hub. The disc golf course is the under-the-radar gem.
Dog policy — the real rules
Coquitlam allows off-leash on most park trails dawn–10 a.m., but Mundy has a few hard rules. Read these before you bring the dog.
✓ Off-leash dawn – 10 a.m.
Most park trails. Standard off-leash rules apply (dog under voice control, owner cleaning up, etc.).
✗ Leashed all times
The paved Mundy Park Community Path (perimeter community path) requires leash all hours. Off-leash on the gravel/dirt trails, leashed on the paved.
✗ Dogs prohibited entirely
Mundy Lake area trails — sensitive habitat. Lost Lake protected zone (sand nesting beach for Western Painted Turtles).
✓ Always off-leash
The fenced dog park on the west side of Mariner Way (south of Chilko Drive lot). Separate small-dog and large-dog enclosures.

Approximately 16 km of trails inside the park, plus a 5.5 km perimeter community loop. The interior is a connected web — count the named segments separately and you get more than a dozen distinct routes.
Yes — a free 9-hole disc golf course on the west side of the park near the outdoor pool. Total length is 1,797 feet, all 9 holes under 300 feet. A round takes about an hour. Easy to moderate difficulty.
Yes on most park trails dawn until 10:00 a.m. After 10 a.m., dogs must be leashed. Some areas (Mundy Lake trails, Lost Lake protected zone) prohibit dogs entirely. The fenced off-leash dog park is always available — it's on the west side of Mariner Way south of the Chilko Drive lot, with separate enclosures for large and small dogs.
No to both. Lost Lake is protected turtle habitat for the endangered Western Painted Turtle — there's a sand nesting beach at the south end that's closed to public access. Mundy Lake is also non-swimming. The Mundy Park outdoor pool is the swim option in the park.
Three main lots, all free: Hillcrest Street (641 Hillcrest — main pool access, fills first on pool days), Chilko Drive (off Mariner Way), and Austin Avenue access points. The fenced off-leash dog park has its own approach off Mariner Way.
178 hectares — about 440 acres. It's Coquitlam's largest urban park.
Very. Off-leash on most park trails dawn–10 a.m., a dedicated fenced off-leash dog park on Mariner Way with separate small-dog and large-dog enclosures, and easy parking. The exceptions: Mundy Lake area trails (dogs prohibited at all times), Lost Lake protected zone (prohibited), and the paved community path (leashed at all hours).
The Austin / Como Lake / Mariner Way pockets around Mundy Park trade on the park access plus the central Coquitlam location plus the catchment for Mundy Road Elementary (which has its own District Challenge gifted program). For families who want a daily outdoor lifestyle without driving anywhere, this is some of the best-located inventory in Coquitlam. Burquitlam-adjacent addresses also benefit from SkyTrain access alongside Mundy's trails.
