Here are the most popular Burnaby parks (Map), listed from north to south (see other area parks):

Robert Burnaby Park

This large park, on the South Shore of Burnaby Lake, is known for its wooded ravine and forest trails, which attract walkers, joggers and nature lovers. The park is also home to a popular swimming pool on its southern edge.


BC Parkway & Highland Park Line

Burnaby's portion of the B.C. Parkway Trail is a 19 kilometre linear park strip which connects the Westminster Quay waterfront to False Creek in Vancouver.

Similar to the west coast rainforests that made up much of the area, the park has a forest of immense Douglas fir, western hemlock, poplar and maple. The Park is also home to Swangard Stadium, a swimming pool, and Central Park Pitch & Putt and is readily accessible from the Patterson SkyTrain Station.


Burnaby Fraser Foreshore Park

This picturesque riverside park, nestled between the Riverway Golf Course and an light industrial area, provides a wonderful opportunity to experience and explore the mighty Fraser River. On the other bank is the East Richmond Woodland Vegetation Study Area.
