Park trails fan out from the large Quarry Road parking lot. From Lougheed Highway in Coquitlam, turn north on Coast Meridian and travel 2.5 km to Victoria Drive. Follow Victoria Drive for 1 km to the crest of the hill and make a deliberate left turn to stay on Victoria. Travel northeast for 3.5 km to the park entrance on Quarry Road. To get to Minnekhada Lodge from Quarry Road, turn right on Gilley’s Trail. Turn left onto Oliver Road which leads to the park and the lodge (parking is limited).

What We Want To Do
We are developing projects, events and programs that will increase the involvement of children, teenagers and families in the exploration and discovery of our natural environment (flora and fauna).
We are pursuing relations with First Nations in bringing about an understanding of the earliest history of these lands.
