Deer Lake Park
Trails Are Now One-way
With a variety of loop length options, walkers can choose the path that suits their needs. View Map »
One-way loop lengths:
- Deer Lake Route = 3.5km
- Hart House Mini Route = 1.2km
- Oakland Flats = 2km
- Royal Oak Meadow Route = 1.7km
Maps and direction signage are posted throughout the park. While the new one-way measure will help ensure people can keep their distance from each another, the best way to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19 is to avoid visiting the park during peak hours.
Royal Oakland Park Stairway & Landscape Improvements
The Royal Oakland stairway (southwest of Deer Lake Park) will be closed for major repairs and improvements from September 14, 2020-February 2021. Thank you for your understanding.
Deer Lake Park is situated in a peaceful natural environment that serves as the cultural precinct for the City of Burnaby’s arts and heritage amenities. Leisurely walking trails with scenic views connect the lake, the Burnaby Art Gallery, Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, Burnaby Village Museum and Hart House Restaurant. During the busy summer festival season, the park is a bustling hub of activity.
