A world-class sports facility in our own backyard
This multi-purpose stadium is located in the northwest corner of Central Park.

But there's action at the local level too–watch for fun family activities throughout the year. Plus, every year Burnaby hosts Canada Day celebrations that include concerts, fireworks and festival fun. Visitor information and hours
