We want to hear from you
Metro Vancouver is working with the City of Burnaby to develop a 20-year management plan for Burnaby Lake Regional Park. Building on input received during engagement in fall 2025, we are now seeking feedback on the draft plan and implementation priorities.

Overview
Metro Vancouver is working with the City of Burnaby to develop a 20-year management plan for
Burnaby Lake Regional Park and your input matters.
This plan will guide how we care for and improve the park for decades to come, and focus on:
- Protecting natural ecosystems
- Supporting safe and sustainable park access
- Improving aging infrastructure
- Balancing the needs of all park users
Draft management plan
Following Phase 1 engagement (fall 2025), Metro Vancouver considered feedback received and developed a draft management plan.
The draft plan aims to balance protecting and enhancing the park's ecological values and cultural heritage with opportunities for people to connect with nature. Proposed improvements to trails, entrances, and visitor amenities will enhance access and accessibility, support education and stewardship, and help distribute visitor use more evenly throughout the park.
Engagement
Phase 1 engagement - Complete
The purpose of Phase 1 engagement was to gather input and identify opportunities for the Burnaby Lake Regional Park Management Plan. The first phase of public engagement took place between October 14 and November 30, 2025. During this time, Metro Vancouver invited park visitors to complete a survey and attend pop-up events.
Thank you to everyone who participated and shared feedback.
Phase 2 engagement - In progress
