Name: Saturday Afternoon 🌿 4.5 km Forest Trail Walk in Beautiful Mundy Park
Start: 2024-11-16T14:00:00-08:00

**Reconnect with nature by immersing yourself in the serene atmosphere of the forest while getting some fresh air and exercise.** It's the perfect opportunity to unwind, surrounded by the tranquility of nature. This picturesque 4.5 km forest trail (aprox 6,000 steps) is easy to navigate and is suitable for most fitness levels.

**Coquitlam's Mundy Park** is a unique, densely-forested urban woodland covering a vast expanse of 176 hectares (435 acres) and is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including black bears, deer, raccoons, ducks, geese, turtles, owls, and various other species.

**The "Perimeter Trail"** is a beautiful scenic loop that spans approximately four 5 kilometres, encircles the entire urban forest, and will bring us back to our original starting point in about an hour to an hour-and-a-half depending on our pace.

🚘 **New Meeting Spot Alert!** 🚘

**Parking:**
Head to the main Mundy Park Hillcrest Parking Lot at **641 Hillcrest Street, Coquitlam**. Your GPS should guide you right there. Look for the blue parking sign at the entrance.

**Note:**
There are two parking lots on Hillcrest Street:

* The smaller lot near the playground and sports fields.
* **Our meeting spot:** The main Hillcrest parking lot at **641 Hillcrest Street**, slightly further north.

This parking lot is a gem! It's spacious, surrounded by beautiful trees, and offers **free parking**. While there are usually plenty of spots, I recommend arriving a few minutes early, especially in good weather, just to be safe. Though, in my experience, there have generally been several spots available.

⏰ **Specific Meeting Spot:**
We'll gather in the main Hillcrest parking lot between **1:45 PM and 2:00 PM**. Look for the **large square rock** at the West Gate Trail entrance (Gate 7) at the south end of the lot, facing the baseball diamond. This rock will serve as our meeting spot.

⏰ **Start Time:**
Our walk will kick off at **2:00 PM** from the large square rock, leading us onto the enchanting "Perimeter Trail."

**Pace:** We walk at a comfortable yet invigorating pace.

**Great reasons to step outside and take a walk in nature:** 🌿

1. Physical activity in a green space can reduce stress and lower cortisol levels.
2. Walking burns calories effortlessly.
3. Walking boosts mental and physical health.
4. Walking lowers blood pressure, strengthens bones and muscles.
5. It's an opportunity for mindfulness and relaxation.
6. Walking allows for great conversation while enjoying fresh air and exercise.
7. Taking a tranquil walk through the woods offers a profound connection with nature.

🌲🥾 So wear some good walking shoes, bring water (and your pups for an on-leash walk) and join me for a lovely forest walk in Mundy Park.

☔️/☀️ **Weather:** A Mundy Park walk is lovely, rain or shine. Keep in mind, no matter the weather, it's always a little bit cooler in the woods. 🌿
