What is Burnaby Lake Regional Park, and who runs it?

It is a Metro Vancouver regional park, and Metro Vancouver is drafting a new management plan for it. The draft plan, dated 2026, states the process began in 2025, looks ahead 20 years, and proposes additional trails, a canoe and kayak launch and a new nature education centre, while keeping the park's three main activity areas. The lake and its wetlands are described as regionally significant habitat for waterfowl and migratory birds on the Pacific Flyway.

What sports facilities sit beside the houses?

The Burnaby Lake Sports Complex, at 3677 Kensington Avenue, is the City's field complex on the lake's west side. The City lists five artificial turf fields with lights, two warm-up fields, six changerooms and a 929-square-metre clubhouse on the west side of Kensington Avenue, plus grass fields, softball diamonds and an all-weather soccer field on the wider complex. Fields must be reserved through the City to book.

Which SkyTrain station serves Burnaby Lake houses?

Sperling–Burnaby Lake Station, on the Millennium Line, is the station the park plan names for park access, with bus routes giving shorter walks to the Still Creek, Piper Spit and Cariboo/Avalon entrances. The plan notes parking at Piper Avenue, Avalon Avenue and the Glencarin trailhead, and at the Burnaby Lake Rowing Pavilion and Sports Complex, so station-side and entrance-side houses carry park visitor traffic as well as trains.

Can you swim in Burnaby Lake?

Metro Vancouver's draft plan instead describes the lake and wetlands as feeding, nesting and staging habitat for numerous species along the Pacific Flyway, and its park concept adds a canoe and kayak launch — non-motorized boating and nature use, not a bathing beach. A buyer who wants a swimming lake should treat Burnaby Lake as a nature and rowing lake and confirm current park rules with Metro Vancouver.

What did houses in Burnaby Lake sell for?

16 houses sold in Burnaby Lake from November 1, 2025 to October 22, 2026, at a median price of $1,825,000.

More Burnaby houses

Burnaby Lake Houses: streets and boundaries

  • Burnaby Lake is the centre, not a street grid: Metro Vancouver's draft park plan states Burnaby Lake Regional Park is surrounded by residential neighbourhoods, Deer Lake municipal park, industrial areas, transportation corridors and the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex.
  • The house pockets are the residential edges of that park: the draft plan names park entrances and parking at Piper Avenue, Avalon Avenue and the Glencarin trailhead, and at the Rowing Pavilion and Sports Complex by Kensington Avenue.

Burnaby Lake Houses: the housing stock

  • Houses here are the low-density pockets at the park edge, separate from the sports and industrial land that shares the lake's shore: the City's Burnaby Lake Sports Complex at 3677 Kensington Avenue occupies the west shore with playing fields, not housing.
  • The park itself is the fixed neighbour: Metro Vancouver began a management plan process for the regional park in 2025, with a 20-year horizon, focused on protecting and restoring park ecosystems.

Burnaby Lake Houses: rules that affect buyers

  • The lake-specific rule set is watershed protection: Still Creek flows into Burnaby Lake and the lake drains east through the Brunette River, so lots draining toward Still Creek, Eagle Creek or Deer Lake are inside the Brunette watershed the park plan describes.

Burnaby Lake Houses: local details a buyer would not know

  • Piper Spit, with its boardwalk and viewing tower, is the park's birding entrance, shown on the draft plan's cover and named as a main activity area.
  • Sports-complex maintenance closes things in rotation: fields 1 and 2 at the west complex were closed from May and June 2026 for turf refurbishment, scheduled to reopen in September 2026, as field closures change by season.
  • The draft park plan proposes completing a Burnaby Lake overpass across Highway 1 for a safe crossing — a planned change to how the south-side house pockets reach the park.

Burnaby Lake Houses: development and new projects

  • Burnaby Lake Regional Park Draft Management Plan, Metro Vancouver, regional park plan: process began 2025, draft dated 2026, 20-year horizon, with additional trails, a canoe/kayak launch, a new nature education centre and an enhanced concept for the park's three main activity areas — status: draft plan (as of November 3, 2026).
  • Burnaby Lake Sports Complex field renewal, City of Burnaby, 3677 Kensington Avenue: fields 1 and 2 closed for turf upgrades in summer 2026, scheduled to reopen September 2026 — status: under way when read, check current (as of November 3, 2026).

Burnaby Lake Houses: getting around

  • Sperling–Burnaby Lake Station on the Millennium Line is the rapid-transit access, and the park plan states bus routes provide more direct access to the Still Creek (five-minute walk), Piper Spit (ten-minute walk) and Cariboo/Avalon (one-minute walk) entrances.
  • Highway 1 is the south-side road access; the park plan's proposed overpass across Highway 1 is a plan item, not an existing crossing, so do not assume a direct south-side park entrance today.

Burnaby Lake Houses: risks and due diligence

  • Check the watershed, not just the lot: Still Creek, Eagle Creek and Deer Lake flow into Burnaby Lake and the lake empties east to the Fraser River through the Brunette River, so drainage and riparian checks matter most for lots on those creek corridors.
  • Check Highway 1 and rail exposure per lot: the park plan describes transportation corridors surrounding the park, but it does not give a noise level for any specific house — a lot-level check is still needed.
