The park’s geography includes rugged canyons and elevated viewpoints that provide striking views of the surrounding mountains and the Coquitlam River valley.

Mundy Regional Park supports a range of activities including hiking, mountain biking, picnicking, and dog walking. Several trails vary in difficulty and length, providing options for casual walkers to more experienced outdoor enthusiasts. Wildlife commonly seen in the park includes black-tailed deer, various bird species, and small mammals.
