Getting Here
6450 Deer Lake Avenue, Burnaby, BC V5G 2J3
🚇 Transit
No SkyTrain station is at the park's edge, but frequent bus service from major hubs like Metrotown or Sperling Station will drop you within a short walk. A bus connection is the most direct way to get here on transit.
🚗 Parking
Be warned: official parking is notoriously limited and fills up exceptionally fast, especially during concerts. If you drive, arrive very early and expect to hunt for a spot in the surrounding residential streets, paying close attention to local restrictions.
