The park contains a protected ecosystem that serves as a habitat for black bears, occasionally resulting in temporary trail closures for public safety.
Mundy Lake is a shallow, natural kettle lake formed by retreating glaciers, which contributes to the park's specific drainage patterns.
The park was historically part of the site used for lumber production before being designated as a protected municipal forest area.
It features over 15 kilometers of multi-use trails that connect the inner forest to the outer residential perimeter.
The disc golf course is designed to weave through dense forest, requiring precision shots through narrow tree corridors rather than long-distance drives.
Mundy Park is a 178-hectare urban forest located in the heart of Coquitlam, British Columbia, representing one of the largest municipal parks in the region. The park features two main water bodies, Mundy Lake and Lost Lake, which are surrounded by extensive trail networks. The terrain includes a 12-hole disc golf course integrated into the wooded landscape. The park is characterized by its significant stand of second-growth coastal Douglas fir and Western hemlock trees. It provides diverse recreational infrastructure, including an outdoor swimming pool, sports fields, and dedicated off-leash dog areas. The park's interior remains largely undeveloped, serving as a primary habitat for local wildlife like black-tailed deer and coyotes. Visitors have access to paved and unpaved pathways suitable for walking, running, and cycling. The facility is managed by the City of Coquitlam and functions as a vital green lung for the surrounding suburban residential area.

Use the perimeter trails for faster travel and the interior forest trails for a more secluded, quiet hiking experience.
Always carry bear-aware protocols and keep pets on leashes in non-designated areas to avoid wildlife encounters.
Attempting to swim in the lakes, as they are designated as sensitive natural habitats rather than swimming holes.
Stay on marked trails to protect the forest floor; pick up all pet waste; refrain from feeding wildlife.
