Dog Parks in the TriCities: Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody
Visit any park in BC and it is not difficult to see at least a dog or two on a weekday, more on weekends. We love our best buddies and they are fun to be with. But when it come to other people’s dogs any our own children, you may find it wary to bring children to a park with stray dogs around. That’s why in most public parks, humans are prioritized by requiring dogs to be on the leash.But dogs need to run freely too. So communities are now starting to designate dog-friendly public spaces which both the dogs and the owners themselves find beneficial.

- Miller Park- A forest-trail with nice views. -870 Oakview St
- Mundy Park-The cities largest park, the best example of an urban + nature combined. -64 Hillcrest Street

Port Coquitlam
Shaughnessy Park Dog Off-Leash Area is the only public space in Port Coquitlam where dogs can run and roam freely.
