Burnaby Lake is the central attraction of Burnaby Lake Regional Park, 4 beautiful square kilometers of flora and fauna with over 200 species of birds that call this home throughout the year. East of Burnaby City Hall, this peaceful sanctuary provides an idyllic conclusion to Still Creek, Eagle Creek and Deer Lake while the lake empties to the east into the Fraser River via the Brunette River. The much smaller, tree-lined Deer Lake in Central Burnaby is just 1 kilometer to the southwest. Somewhat of a cultural hub, the surrounding park hosts summer concerts as well as being home to Burnaby Art Gallery (in the allegedly haunted Ceperley Mansion), the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts and the Burnaby Village Museum.

Burnaby Mountain, home to SFU, is a low, forested mountain with exceptional views of the Upper Arm of the Burrard Inlet. Despite the influx of residents and the continued development of the area, the mountain still maintains a population of wildlife that includes deer, black bears and coyotes. For the bird-lover, several species of woodpecker, Steller's jays, northern flickers and great blue heron are waiting to make your day. And if you need something a little more dynamic to occupy your field of vision, this area is a favourite viewing spot for the English Bay's famous pyrotechnic extravaganza, Symphony of Fire. Burnaby Mountain is also a popular mountain bike destination with numerous trails to tear up and obstacles to conquer. Burnaby's two prominent educational institutions, SFU and the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) contribute to the young, dynamic attitude of the area. With satellite campuses in both Vancouver and Surrey, SFU provides three semesters of undergraduate and graduate programs and is ranked 1st along with the University of Victoria in Canada's Top Comprehensive Universities. But some would argue that some of life's most valuable lessons aren't taught in the classroom but on the golf course, in which case, Burnaby has some classrooms for you to check out! Burnaby Mountain Golf Course provides a beautiful outing while Riverway Public Golf Course includes the Les Furber 18-hole course as well as a covered driving range. For a casual afternoon of pitch-and-putt check out Kensington Park or Central Park. From Metrotown to mountainside golf courses, Burnaby has something for everyone.

, surrounded by ocean and sandy beaches and spanning 1,000 acres, is one of North America's largest urban parks. Preserved from the turn of the century, the park contains many spectacular old-growth trees and sprawling gardens. Surrounding the park is the Stanley Park Seawall, where joggers, walkers, cyclists and people on roller-blades can travel to and from downtown without having to travel in car traffic. When you are in the park you can take a stroll down a lush wooded trail, admire the vast gardens or enjoy a picnic in one of the park's many open areas. While you are enjoying the park, you can also visit the Vancouver Aquarium, which features an amazing array of ocean creatures, including but not limited to whales, sharks, sea otters and dolphins.
