Yesterday (August 6) I ventured into Coquitlam to run a few errands, and hopped off the SkyTrain at the Lafarge Lake station. Because I was only a block away, I walked over to, then around Lafarge Lake, which is a compact (and artificial) lake that is a weird combination of manicured on the west side (concrete walls, paved path) and more natural (rough-hewn fences and gravel paths) on the other side.
There is also a mining cart and what appears to be a hobbit house. The mining cart I get, as the lake was originally a quarry, the hobbit house, no idea.
The geese honked occasionaly, but it was a nicely calm place, otherwise.
