Lafarge Lake is a five-hectare, man-made lake located in Town Centre Park, in central Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada. It was originally a gravel pit formed from gravel extraction from the 1950s until 1965. In the 1970s, the land was transferred to the City of Coquitlam, and a successful reclamation project ensued.
