Getting Here
120 N Willingdon Ave, Burnaby, BC V5C 1H6
🚇 Transit
Your best bet is to bus along Hastings Street, a major corridor with frequent service, and then walk a few blocks south into Confederation Park. While SkyTrain is an option, be prepared for a connecting bus ride, as the nearest stations aren't within easy walking distance.
🚗 Parking
Free parking is available in lots within Confederation Park, but they fill up fast on sunny weekends when the trains are running. Arrive early to snag a spot, or be prepared to hunt for street parking in the surrounding residential neighbourhood.
