Getting Here

250 Willingdon Ave, Burnaby, BC V5C 5E9

🚇 Transit

The park is well-served by buses along the major Willingdon Avenue and nearby Hastings Street corridors. You'll need to make a bus transfer from the nearest SkyTrain station, as none are within easy walking distance.

🚗 Parking

There are several free parking lots on-site, but they fill up quickly on nice days and during community events. If the lots are full, you'll have to hunt for a spot on the surrounding residential streets.
