Trail Maps and Guide - Coquitlam

Page 1

BE SAFE OUTDOORS | TRAIL ETIQUETTEShare the trails, share the responsibilities. A few things to remember when using the trails:

� Tell a friend where you are going and when you expect to return.

� Hiking with others is safer than hiking alone. Go only as far as the slowest person can safely go.

� Show consideration for other trail users.

� Respect nature and stay on the trails. The ravines and natural areas contain habitats that are sensitive to the presence of people and dogs.

� Make yourself familiar with the off-leash dog regulations and clean up after your dog

� Smoking is not permitted in any Coquitlam park or trail.

� When bicycling on multi-use paths, be courteous to pedestrians.

URBAN WILDLIFEBe Bear Aware Bears and wildlife have been living in Coquitlam long before humans. As our population grows, wildlife habitat and natural food sources diminish. While enjoying our outdoors you may encounter: black bears, bobcats, coyotes, deer, racoons and skunks.

� Look for posted signs about recent activity.

� Watch ahead for bears or for their tracks.

� Make plenty of noise when travelling.

� Do not feed wildlife.

� Do not capture or disturb wildlife as they are protected by federal and provincial law.

DOGS ON TRAILSPets are members of the family, and Coquitlam has a variety of parks and off-leash areas where you and your dog can enjoy the outdoors together. But remember, your unleashed dog can be prey for predators such as coyotes or black bears, so keep them safe.

Leashed dogs are allowed on all Coquitlam trails. Dogs must not enter the lakes or wetland areas at any time. Always pick up after your dog, respect nature and stay on the trails.

Parks or Trails with Off-Leash Areas:

� Bramble Park – 2775 Panorama Drive.

� Glen Park – 1149 Westwood Street.

� Miller Park – 900 Oakview Street.

� Mundy Park – 641 Hillcrest Street, entrance off Chilko Avenue.

� Ridge Park – 1685 Parkway Boulevard.

Visit coquitlam.ca/dogparks for complete details.
