WATER PARK & WADING POOLS LOCATIONS:

Central Park - Pool
Follow either Kingsway or the Trans Canada Highway to Boundary Road. Turn south to reach the park. Central Park is also easily accessible by the SkyTrain at Patterson Station.

Or you can sit back and cheer on your favourite team at Swangard Stadium.

This century-old park features two ponds, home to geese and ducks, and the pretty Earl and Jennie Lohn Perennial Garden. There's also the award-winning Variety Club Playground for children. This integrated play area provides fun and challenges for children of all ages and abilities.

Confederation Park - Water Park & Pool

Confederation Park offers the best of both worlds -- recreational facilities and untouched wilderness. Part of it is developed for lawn bowling, bocce, tennis, baseball, soccer, lacrosse, skateboarding (as of June 1996) and track running. The north side of the park has been left in its natural state with the 1.3 kilometre Penzance Trail, which meanders through dense forest and offers view of Burrard Inlet. Families can keep busy all day at Confederation Park. You can picnic among the trees or take a ride on the model steam railway, which operates on weekends during the summer. The summertime spray pool provides hours of fun on a hot day. *Wheelchair accessible parking spots and washrooms.

Robert Burnaby Park - Pool
Follow Canada Way to 16th Avenue, turn northeast and then left on 1st Street, Robert Burnaby Park is not accessible from Highway 1.

This large park is known for its wooded ravine and forest trails, which attract walkers, joggers and nature lovers. The trails are laid out on hillsides, meandering through ravines and into open meadows.

It's easy to imagine you're far from the city in this peaceful setting of huge western hemlock, cedar and douglas fir. Whether it's a picnic, tennis, baseball or a nature walk in the forest, Robert Burnaby Park is perfect for a family outing. Don't miss the playground or the large outdoor pool, set in the middle of all the greenery. Somewhat difficult to find, it is one of the better "secret" places in Burnaby for a woodland retreat away from the crowds.
