The Central Valley Greenway is a multi-city project that creates a safe riding environment from New Westminster, through Burnaby and into downtown Vancouver. Set to open on June 27th, 2009, the Greenway will not only create a safe environment for cycling, jogging, wheelchairs and more but will also link together SkyTrain stations, bus routes, schools and more. The greenway is not only a functional route, but also a scenic one with highligted stops along the way such as Burnaby Lake Park.

Burnaby's BC Parkway Trail is a 19-kilometre linear park strip connecting the Westminster Quay waterfront to False Creek in Vancouver. The Parkway provides a separated cycle and pedestrian trail system within a beautifully landscaped park corridor. Take your bike, bring a picnic lunch and stop at a park. Many possible destinations are along the route, which provide opportunities for brief outings or a longer journey.

Bike through the many trails of this wooded oasis of colossal douglas fir, western hemlock, poplar and maple. Similar to the magnificent rainforests that once dominated North America's west coast, the park’s trails (marked with signs) are popular with residents and visitors alike. This century-old park also features two ponds, home to geese and ducks, and the beautiful Earl and Jennie Lohn Perennial Garden.

Deer Lake Park offers a peaceful natural environment in the heart of the city. The park’s trails meander around the lake and through unique meadows and woodlands, offering bicyclists an opportunity to discover the park’s heritage and natural beauty.
