Help Shape Burnaby's Parks, Recreation and Culture for the Next 25 Years
Official title: Making Life Better: Parks, Recreation and Culture Plan
Burnaby is creating a 25-year plan for its parks, recreation centres, and cultural facilities. The city's last plan dates back to 1984. With rapid growth and changing demographics, they want to hear what residents need from these spaces and services.
Why This Matters
Use a local park, rec centre, or community space? This plan will shape what gets built, upgraded, or maintained for the next quarter century. Whether you want more trails, better pools, or cultural programming, now's the time to speak up.
What Could Change
New recreation facilities could be built in growing neighbourhoods. Existing parks might get upgraded amenities. Cultural programming could expand or shift focus. The plan will also set priorities for accessibility improvements across all city facilities.
Key Issues
- What parks, recreation and cultural facilities does Burnaby need?
