Location
Getting Here
4000 Quarry Rd, Coquitlam, BC V3E 3H5
🚇 Transit
Don't count on transit to get you to the trailhead. While buses from Coquitlam's SkyTrain stations serve the surrounding neighbourhoods, you'll be left with a very long, uphill walk to the park entrance.
🚗 Parking
There's a dedicated lot right at the entrance, but it's notoriously small and fills up exceptionally fast, especially on weekends. Arrive before 9 a.m. or be prepared to wait for a spot, as there's no street parking on the narrow approach road.
