June 20, 2022 Lots of people observed enjoying the nice weather and beautiful views. Great place to walk on various trails with differing difficulty levels while enjoying amazing views of the Indian Arm. There is a 500 step challenge that leads to the Voladrome too. Best place for exercise or to have a picnic.
December 6 2020- got some beautiful Christmas lights up on the trees and some ongoing construction happening. Beautiful night view.
Its a great place to go and see the sunset and to interact with other humans you care about. Of course maintaining social distancing is crucial regardless that the parks have opened up. I see many young people not caring about these guidelines that are going to save not just yourself, its about the 20 people you pass it too unknowingly that are in hospital and die. Maybe they need police up there keeping these kids apart and also educating them so they know more about Covid19 even though we know so little.
I go up there every night, usually by myself, and every second night I see police driving up there. On the 27th of May 2020 I drove past a bunch of police and ambulance services and they had taken someone to hospital and fire department were trying to retrieve the vehicle that had lost control and went down the mountain through its own route smashing through trees. I saw police interviewing and asian woman and there were many onlookers.
I go up there to have a peaceful time but younger adults have competitions of who can do better donuts. It really kinda cool watching how foolish I was as well at their age. The dash cam video footage is great. They are all good kids and have a beautiful place to play and also learn to...

Read moreI visited the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area with my family this weekend and we had a wonderful time. The park is very well-maintained and has plenty of parking spaces. We enjoyed the panoramic views of the city and the mountains from the lookout point. We also had a picnic at the Centennial Rose Garden, which was very peaceful and relaxing. The roses were in full bloom and smelled amazing. We then explored some of the forested trails, which were easy to moderate in difficulty and had clear signs and maps. We saw some wildlife, such as deer, squirrels, and birds, along the way. We also admired the eco-sculptures, which are made of plants and depict different animals and characters. They were very creative and impressive. The highlight of our visit was the Playground of the Gods, which is a collection of wooden sculptures that represent the Japanese myth of the creation of the world. They were very majestic and fascinating. We learned a lot about the history and culture of Japan from the information boards. We spent about four hours at the park and we felt very refreshed and rejuvenated. We would definitely recommend this park to anyone who loves nature and art. It is a great place to visit for all ages...
