The Coquitlam Crunch Trail is a popular outdoor recreational destination in Coquitlam. A long-time destination for fitness enthusiasts, the Crunch trail sees about 50,000 users each month during peak summer season.
A result of recent provincial housing legislation includes changes to how Coquitlam funds critical infrastructure such as park and amenity improvements. In 2024, the City deferred many new and on-going projects while new funding programs are developed. The Coquitlam Crunch Extension planning process is currently on hold, but we expect that the project will be reactivated at a later date. Progress updates will be posted on this page as they develop.
Extending the Crunch Trail
Due to its popularity, the City consulted the public in 2017 on future improvements on the Coquitlam Crunch. Following feedback from over 1,700 respondents, the Coquitlam Crunch Trail and Expansion Plan (2018-2023) was developed, and subsequently approved by Council in January 2018.
The Coquitlam Crunch Trail and Expansion Plan envisions that the Coquitlam Crunch Trail would eventually connect to Eagle Mountain in the north and to Mundy Park in the south, with connections ultimately reaching the Fraser River. The Crunch Trail will offer a diverse outdoor recreation and fitness experience while connecting to existing parks, enhancing the City’s parks network and outdoor recreation offerings.
The first proposed extension to the original Coquitlam Crunch Trail is the Coquitlam Crunch South Extension, running south of the Barnet Highway from Dewdney Trunk up the slope to Mariner Way and connecting to Mundy Park.
