Several small lakes, nice to walk around. Parking lots were clean and nicely paved. There are lots of picnic places, I assume BBQ is not allowed. There are quite a few groups of people doing exercises together, there were dancing groups as well. Then I saw small groups of people walking around the lakes. There are walking trails as well, lots of tress, lots of fresh air. The beauty of this park is that it is almost next to Metrotown, huge shopping mall. Then tennis courts are just close by, maybe 3 minutes from the east side of the park,
I recommend going this park for a day, a get together for exercises.

Got on the trails a little late this year, as the Sun Run is only four weeks away! Surprised to see snow here and there, but then it's been a cold winter - and indeed still winter as I write this. However, other than a some leftover snow in the shady spots, most everything open for business. While the pitch-n-putt looked closed, lots of action at the duck pond near the tai chi/horseshoe pitch area, people picnicking and using the playground next to the lower pond where the remote controlled boats often appear. And, most important of all, the trails are even better marked than they were last year. Kudos to Burnaby Park staff - love your Central Park!

Nestled in a bustling city, Central Park is a great place to escape for a few hours. I enjoy walking and riding my bicycle through the park. Easy access from Vancouver and Burnaby and plenty of free parking.

If you want an experience that completely regenerates your soul, take your bike up to Central Park and take an hour or two to ride all of the trails.
There are trees in here that will take your breath away with their majesty and they're all within touching distance of the bike routes. You can't get lost but you can feel like you're lost by taking random turns along the network of hard pan tracks throughout the park.
There are a couple of lakes,one in the middle and one at the south end and there are big open green spaces for picnics and games.

When I think about it the only other places that can compare in the local area are Stanley Park and UBC. Deer Lake and Burnaby Lake are beautiful in their own way but they don't have the gigantic trees.

In the summer you can make it even better by visiting the open air swimming pool

you don't have to fight traffic and parking is easy... get out and eat it up!
