Outdoor Multi-Use Boxes

Enjoy organized sports, casual play, or recreation programs at one of our outdoor boxes

Our outdoor multi-use boxes are venues for sports leagues, casual drop-in play, City of Burnaby programming, and cultural and community events. 

In addition to these new covered multi-use boxes, the City also maintains a traditional outdoor lacrosse box at Cariboo Hill park. 

Pickleball courts are available on a first-come, first-served basis. There's no fee and no advanced booking required, but please bring your own equipment and portable nets.
