The area is easily accessible from the Evergreen Line at the Lafarge Douglas Station located right there,and also bus stops close by as well.

Lafarge Lake/Town Center is a nice area with 7 playing fields from Soccer Football Softball Baseball Rugby and Field hockey and a main stadium as well.

Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam is a gem tucked away in the city. This man-made lake, surrounded by lush greenery and walking trails, offers a perfect escape from urban bustle. The loop around the lake is a pleasant 1.2 kilometers, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely stroll or a jog.

One of the highlights here is the vibrant seasonal displays of flowers and foliage that adorn the landscape, making each visit unique and Instagram-worthy. During the summer, you can rent pedal boats and explore the lake, adding a splash of fun to your day. During the holiday season, the park is decorated with Christmas lights and it is a sight to behold. While a lot of places charge an entrance fee for light displays, this place offers a free entry and that is truly commendable.

For nature enthusiasts, the lake is a haven for various bird species. Bring your binoculars and spot ducks, geese, and herons among others, adding a touch of tranquility to the atmosphere.

Lafarge Lake Park isn't just about the lake; it hosts events and festivals throughout the year, from music concerts to cultural celebrations, ensuring there's always something happening here.

Whether you're seeking a peaceful stroll, a place to picnic, or a lively event, Lafarge Lake caters to all, making it a must-visit spot for locals and...
