Burnaby Lake Regional Park

The park contains a 3.11 square kilometer lake surrounded by 19 kilometers of walking trails with boardwalks crossing numerous swampy sections.

The lake formed through glacial activity 12,000 years ago and received its name from Colonel Richard Moody in honor of his secretary Robert Burnaby in 1859.

The territory holds deep connections to Coast Salish peoples who utilized the lake for transportation and resource gathering before European settlement.

Visitors can access the park through multiple entry points, with the main parking area located at 4519 Piper Avenue and nearby Sperling-Burnaby Lake Skytrain station.

The lake functions as a natural settling pond, filtering pollutants from Still Creek before water flows into the Brunette River system.
