Deer Lake concerts on summer lawns, ramen rows in Metrotown, quiet trails up Burnaby Mountain, and one of the best pie shops in the region. Curated by locals, refreshed daily.
This guide refreshes daily. Deer Lake Park runs free concerts most summer weekends, Metrotown has food, arcades and late-night dessert, and Burnaby Mountain has trails and the best sunset view in the city. Check "On in Burnaby" above for what’s actually on today.
The mall is the landmark, but the blocks around it hold ramen rows, Korean barbecue, bubble tea, karaoke rooms and Central Park next door with its pitch-and-putt and forest loop. It’s the densest food neighbourhood between Vancouver and Coquitlam.
Burnaby Mountain Park for views and trails, Deer Lake for paddling and lakeside walks, Central Park for forest paths, and Barnet Marine Park for a beach day on the inlet. All four are transit-reachable.
