Burnaby Parks

Burnaby’s parks offer space to slow down, move, and reconnect with nature without leaving the city. From scenic viewpoints and wildlife habitats to cultural landmarks and waterfront trails, each park adds a different way to experience the outdoors at your own pace.

Burnaby Mountain Conservation Park has expansive views across the city, the mountains, and Burrard Inlet. Multi-use trails accommodate hiking and mountain biking, while the Kamui Mintara (Playground of the Gods) sculptures add striking art and meaning to the landscape. Nearby, the Centennial Rose Garden insists you stop and smell the flowers.

Right in the heart of the city, Central Park packs a lot into one place, with an outdoor pool, sand volleyball court, 12 tennis courts, a pitch-and-putt golf course, a fitness circuit, and Swangard Stadium.

Burnaby Lake Regional Nature Park is a protected wildlife sanctuary and a magnet for birdwatchers, with more than 200 species passing through or settling in. Walk the 11km trail or roll along accessible routes, wander the boardwalks, climb the viewing tower, or take to the water for quiet canoeing, kayaking, or rowing.

Come for the lakeside walk. Stay for the show. Deer Lake blends trails and green space with museums, galleries, and live performances, with summer festivals and concerts filling the park with sound and colour.

Yes, Burnaby has a shoreline. Barnet Marine Park sits right at the water’s edge, with beach access, waterfront trails, and open views across Burrard Inlet toward Indian Arm and the North Shore Mountains.

Burnaby Fraser Foreshore Park stretches along the Fraser River, with paths that follow the water and views that keep pulling you forward. Meadows, marshes, and creeks frame picnic spots, lookout points, and lovely walks.

Stretching 13 blocks through North Burnaby, Willingdon Linear Park turns the street into a green corridor. The accessible, tree-lined path is perfect for walking, jogging, and biking, with lawns, public art, and pocket parks adding additional colour.

Confederation Park is one of Burnaby’s largest and most active green spaces, with room to picnic, play, and explore. Ride the model steam train, cool off in the spray park, or head across Penzance Drive to forested trails that wind through the park’s quieter north side.

Robert Burnaby Park blends quiet forest trails with open lawns and picnic areas just south of Burnaby Lake. Creeks, streams and restored habitat shape the landscape, offering a peaceful place to walk, play and reconnect with nature.

Kensington Park is one of Burnaby’s busiest recreation hubs, with something in play year-round. Home to the city’s popular pitch and putt course, arena, running track and outdoor pool, it’s a go-to spot for sport, swimming and casual afternoons outdoors.

Taylor Park brings together play areas, sports courts, open fields and a dog off-leash space in Southeast Burnaby. Named after a family known for their commitment to youth sport, it remains a welcoming place to gather, move and enjoy time outside.
