The mountain, water and city views from high atop Burnaby Mountain make this destination popular for locals and visitors alike. Make sure you bring your camera -- you'll want to capture the beauty of this park.
The green hillside offers room to throw a frisbee or send a kite soaring. A network of trails offers a variety of hiking, walking and jogging options, and there is a playground tucked into the upper hillside.
The Centennial Pavilion area features the resplendent Rose Garden, with its vibrant colours, heady scents and great variety of roses. Nearby are the acclaimed Horizons restaurant and two majestic totem poles, a reminder of the community's proud native heritage.
Towering over the distant city are the tall Kamui Mintara (Playground of the Gods) sculptures. The Kamui Mintara is more than a dozen carved poles created by Japanese sculptors Nuburi Toko and his son, Shusei. These impressive sculptures commemorate the goodwill between Burnaby and its sister city, Kushiro, Japan.
In November 1995, the Province of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University reached an agreement to transfer 820 acres of university land to the City of Burnaby for inclusion into Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area.
The majority of this 1,423 acre park is comprised of steep, forested mountain slopes. The conservation of such a large natural area, in one of North America's fastest growing metropolitan regions, will ensure the accessibility and preservation of a valuable natural heritage. Burnaby Mountain has many significant ecological assets, including a mixed deciduous/coniferous forest, diverse wildlife—such as blacktail deer, bald eagles and many perching birds—and creeks that provide critical habitats for fish and wildlife. The park area, with its many trails, provides untold opportunities for outdoor recreation, nature interpretation and education in Burnaby.
