The date

Lafarge Lake is Coquitlam's accidental romance set-piece: a flat 1.2km gravel loop around a lake that goes full mirror at dusk, with Eagle Ridge framing the far shore and benches exactly where you need them. From late November to Family Day it becomes Lights at Lafarge, roughly 700,000 lights strung around the whole loop, free every night. Do it in both seasons and you'll have two completely different impressions of the same gravel path.

Bringing the kids

A lake loop, a playground and room to negotiate whose turn it is to choose the next stop. Keep this one unhurried: the grown-ups get a waterside wander, the kids get Town Centre Park, and nobody has to sit still through a three-course lunch.

Lafarge Lake loop in Town Centre Park, with playgrounds and washrooms elsewhere in the park. Supervise children beside the water. Seasonal light displays have separate dates; they are not part of every visit.
