A nice place for an afternoon stroll, Burnaby Mountain was first logged back in the early 1900's and became a favourite of hikers by the 1920's. Today, you can still enjoy walking and hiking trails, but the park is less rugged, and has other things to offer. Toss a frisbee, fly a kite or simply enjoy the changing of the seasons.
The Kamui Mintara Playground of the Gods sculptures were created by Japanese sculptors Nuburi Toko and his son, Shusei, to commemorate the goodwill between sister-cities: Burnaby and Kushiro, Japan.
Two Tancho crane eco-structures make their home in the gardens. The six metre sculptures are made of plants. (Actually, over 17,000 plants in three different varieties!)
There's a playground on-site for the kids. Horizons Restaurant is popular for Sunday outings with the clan. The city-views and glimpses of Burrard Inlet are great for shutter-bugs.
Please do not feed the Coyotes.
To get there: From Lougheed Highway, turn north on Gaglardi Way to Centennial Way.
