If you are looking to take a dip, Burnaby has four outdoor pools for you to visit. All of the pools are located in beautiful, scenic parks, surrounded by stunning views of nature.

Spray Parks
Perfect for kids (or kids at heart), Burnaby’s eight push-button spray pads let you cool down quickly. It’s fun, free, doesn’t require swimming skills, and best of all, parents get to stay dry! All spray parks (except for Cameron Park, it closes at 8:00pm) are open from 9:00am – 9:00pm, so there is never a wrong time to visit. Spray parks are open until the end of September. Our tip?
