Places to Visit
  • Burnaby Lake Park, end of Piper Ave. Burnaby's largest lake, a great place to see wild birds.
  • Burnaby Mountain Park. Enjoy the mountain, water and spectacular views of Greater Vancouver from this green jewel. Featuring the resplendent Rose Gardens, hiking and walking trails, picnic areas and children's playground.
  • Burnaby Village Museum & Carousel (Heritage Village), 6501 Deer Lake Ave,  May-early Sept: Tu-Su 11AM-4:30PM, late Nov-Dec: Tu-Su Noon-5PM. Discover Burnaby urban heritage at an authentic turn of the century town and rekindle romance on the restored vintage 1912 carousel. It is staffed by people dressed in period clothes. You can visit the common houses or the many shops, including the Blacksmith and the Chinese Herbalist. It is best to go on the weekend since many of the staff are volunteers and the "town" is somewhat emptier during the week.
  • Capitol Hill Reservoir Park, North Hythe Ave at Dundas St, Capitol Hill. Amazing views of Vancouver, Burrard Inlet, the Lions Gate Bridge and the North Shore Mountains. Best sunset viewing spot in town.

  • Central Park. A 90 hectare urban park oasis that features an award-winning children's playground, pitch and putt golf, and a couple of small ponds shared by ducks and remote-controlled boats.
