2025 Coquitlam Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

It's rare to find large cafés in Vancouver, but one has opened up, and I've been visiting it often! They offer a wide variety of bakery items and several types of shaved ice, making it a go-to spot whenever I feel nostalgic for Korea. I've heard that the café is run by Koreans, which might explain why the bread and shaved ice have the taste and appearance reminiscent of what you'd find in Korea—truly tempting! 😂 Although Vancouver doesn't have many hot days, I highly recommend visiting this place for shaved ice on sunny days. By the way, I haven't tried their brunch, but they do have brunch options, including pasta, so keep that in mind when you visit! 😊 The exterior and interior give off a vibe that feels a bit like Southeast Asia, or perhaps like being in a forest within the city, which adds to its charm. 🎈

Among the numerous parks in Vancouver, Mundy Park stands out as a great place for a shaded and relaxing walk, reminiscent of Korea's Jeju Saryeoni Forest Path. Located in a quiet residential area, this park features a playground for kids, making it a popular destination for families to enjoy a stroll or a picnic. One of its best perks is the free parking lot, which adds to its convenience. While weekends can be a bit crowded, it's an ideal spot for a peaceful walk after a meal on a long sunny weekday afternoon in Vancouver.

#cityplaybook #familytrip #localguides Coquitlam blends suburban comfort with untamed beauty. Tucked between forested mountains and urban energy, it surprised me with just how much nature you can access in a day—without ever leaving the city. My adventure began at Lafarge Lake, where locals jogged along the calm water and cherry blossoms framed every photo. A short walk away, Town Centre Park buzzed with families, festivals, and the laid-back pace of weekend life. But the real magic happened when I hit the trails of Mundy Park—tall cedars, peaceful lakes, and the scent of damp earth surrounded me. Whether you hike, bike, or just breathe, this city knows how to slow things down. For a cultural dive, I stopped by the Evergreen Cultural Centre, where local art and theatre offered a creative contrast to the wilderness outside. And if you're hungry, Coquitlam’s Korean food scene is a must—bold flavors that reflect the city’s rich diversity. Best Time to Visit: Spring through fall for comfortable weather, blooms, and trail time. Travel Tips: Take the SkyTrain to Lafarge Lake-Douglas station—it’s scenic and simple. Mundy Park is large—start early and bring water for longer walks. Try local Korean BBQ or spicy soft tofu stew—you won’t regret it.

I visited the Lafarge light at Coquitlam. The lights were amazing but it was incredibly crowded. I felt suffocated and couldn’t walk on my pace because it was crowded. We came around 6:00 which I guess is the peak when all visit. At the end I did have some corn dog and hot chocolate which was warming to my soul.#Larfarge #Coquitlam #britishcolumbia #canada

Beautiful hike

Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam is about 40 minutes by car from downtown Vancouver. The highlight of Lafarge Lake in winter is the illuminations! The lake is illuminated with cute dwarf monuments and a tunnel of light, making it a wonderful space✨ The illuminations are reflected in the lake, so you can take beautiful photos📸 It is recommended to go on a day when the wind is weak and the water in the lake is not swaying! Go with your friends, family, or partner and spend a relaxing evening. ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ 📍: Lafarge Lake, Coquitlam 📸: Canon EOS 5D MarkⅣ, iPhone ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ #OverseasTravelRecord #Canada #CanadaTrip #CanadaTourism #Coquitlam #Illuminations

#100TravelWays You must come to Canada to experience the transformation between city and countryside, hustle and bustle and tranquility! As a representative of the "village/town" country, Canada will give travelers the most Wow feeling. 10 minutes ago, I was enjoying hand-brewed coffee in Starbucks, and 10 minutes later, I was already in the woods, breathing in the fresh air while wondering if I would have a close encounter with a black bear? But don't worry, they are basically friendly messengers and will not hurt you #GreatVancouver #MeetBlackBears

#Parent-child good place #GreaterVancouver Lafarge Lake is a five-hectare artificial lake located in the downtown park in downtown Coquitlam, British Columbia. Take the Yellow Line SkyTrain and get off at Douglas Station. If you drive there, you can park your car at the bus shuttle parking lot, which costs 1 yuan for 4 hours, which is also very convenient. See Canada geese, mallards, and more here. The lake water is clear, the waves are sparkling, the breeze is gentle, and there are tourists walking around in groups of three or five, feeling extremely relaxed. The water droplets from the fountain in the center of the lake can form a rainbow, which is very beautiful. There is also an ice cream truck on the park lawn on weekends, so you can enjoy a delicious ice cream!

Cool weather, Coquitlam Park 📍Address:

After paddling 🚣 and walking 🚶 through thousands of mountains and rivers, we finally saw the pearl 👑 in Pitt Lake, Widgeon Falls. ⛲

If ever you’re in British Columbia, Canada, I would highly recommend taking a stroll around Colony Farm Regional Park. This park is pet-friendly and jog friendly. The sweet summer breeze would make you forget your problems for at least sometime. We spent an hour here just sitting down and talking about life. This place is perfect for a picnic date for couples
