In partnership with Metro Vancouver, we are working at preserving and enhancing this natural environment. Read more about our mission, strategies and who we are HERE.
Minnekhada Regional Park
Minnekhada Regional Park is a 200+ hectare park located in Coquitlam, BC. It has more than 10km of hiking trails with a fantastic lookout as well as a marsh filled with flora and fauna. Forest, marsh and rocky outcrops make this regional park a gem to explore any time of year. The network of quiet trails are great places to hike and watch for wildlife. It is also home to Minnekhada Lodge, a 1930s country estate with spectacular views of the Pitt River.
We acknowledge that Minnekhada Park Association operates within the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of Kwikwetlem and Katzie First Nations. We thank the Kwikwetlem and Katzie who continue to live on these lands and care for them, along with the waters and all that is above and below.
