Byrne Creek Ravine Park

Most trails have eroded and it's not a great idea to go on any trails other than the main one, it's just a series of dead ends.

A very nice, quiet and clean local trail. The park also has washroom, picnic and playground area for kids as well. Most importantly, tons of free parking.

A patch of green tucked àway and carefully hidden in South East Burnaby. Easy trails and paths to climb. No really great views but a great place to escape the traffic of the city.

Not a bad little spot of Greenery in the busy city. Has a few good trails too. There's a park area with a children's playground at one end and also picknic tables.

This park is really built around the ravine, and it's impossible to cross. There are internal paths on the west side, to get down to Marine Drive. Return path either follows the road up to Southpoint Drive and Brynepark Drive, or climbs the stairmaster to get back up to Ron McLean Park.

Short forested trail close to Edmonds skytrain. Not stroller friendly but suitable for kids. Look out for Fairy Doors.:)

There's a nice long staircase in this park that rivals at least the Coquitlam Crunch. Coquitlam Crunch is wider and has a better view, but this staircase is shady with big trees on either side. So it's more pleasant on a hot sunny day.

Wonderful nature park. The wild forest is very photogenic and I'm sure I have seen this place in TV shows and films.

Byrne Creek Ravine Park is a great place with residential access east, north, and west. Many of the resi streets also have parking.
Off Marine Way, you can park in the area of Byrnepark Drive and Southwynde Avenue.
From there the perimeter trail leads up to Edmonds Metro station. Then circle around and walk west to Ron McLean Park (which has washrooms). At Hedley Avenue and Portland Street, continue south on Bank Street. The tennis court is where the trail starts up again. We were so happy to find the stairs that take you down. While the upper trail mixes nature sounds with the skytrain, once in the ravine you will have just nature and running water sounds. A bridge takes you out and up to Southridge Drive. From there, you can take the sidewalk back, but definitely take the trail that goes up a small hill. That inner trail winds along with views of the ravine and the creek, and connects to the perimeter at multiple junctions.
Byrne Creek Ravine Park was a really surprising and clean urban park. I thought it would just be street level strolling next to low and high rises and the skytrain, but going down into the ravine was a treat. Our walk was about one hour and went from street access to flat paved paths to another park to dirt trails to stairs to running water to a bridge to a forest hike. With so many points of access, close proximity to streets and transit, and such variety in surroundings, this is a gem to have the city.
*Whoever is the artist for the various signs (re Byrne Creek Streamkeepers Society) about staying out of the creek while salmon eggs are in the gravel, you are a wonderful and humorous illustrator! Keep drawing.

Great park, super safe, have gone there plenty of times after dark (till about 10-11 pm). Right next to the transit!

Nice to be able to have natural vegetation when hiking. I guess it wont be long before this is torn down for development as well. Sad.

Great walk in our neighborhood. But it would be nice if they widened the path all the way around and not just the north east portion.

Great place for a quick hike and walking trail with your dog. A beautiful green place in the middle of a busy area.

Wonderful BIG park with a great network of paths. Plenty of space on the main paths to socially distance from others while enjoying the outdoors. Park appears well maintained and patrolled for safety issues. Several little artsy spots hidden around for those who seek them out. Be aware of swooping owls at dusk.

Sunsets are beautiful here. So go walk the dog, and stroll back down to Steveston, the pup will love it!

Very nice and well layed out nature walk in burnaby by Edmonds skyyrain and goes for quite a long way. Very nice and peaceful

A nice little walking trail with a creek flowing through. Lots of walkers throughout the route

Great for whole family and furbabies! Good even path. Some stairs, so not full accessible or inclusive.

Great park for running or walking. Trails just SW of Edmonds sky train station or bottom of station street. Nice wide paved walkway in many parts but dirt trails connecting. Goes down into ravine and creek just like in the wilderness

Loved this place because of the central location of quiet serenity walking through the bottom of the Ravine then coming to the stairs just the right amount of exercise. Only was not enough places to sit

Didnt really enjoy it. Cmon we live in beautiful vancouver you should have expected me saying this on Byrne creek

Great short hike (45-1hr). Most of the trail is covered, which make it quite ideal when it's sunny out. Typically come here with the dogs off leash

Love this park! When you're down by the creek you're surrounded by nature and it almost doesn't feel like you're in the city.

Hard to believe this is right in the middle of Burnaby, in a very urban area. It's an interesting park with a dramatic ravine and creek. Didn't see any salmon spawning.maybe later in the year. As others have mentioned the trail is not particularly well marked. A large section of the east side is currently (Sep 2019) closed to the public due to some kind of construction project. Overall a nice place for a stroll and to feel like you're deep in the forest, check it out if you're in the area.

Went geocaching and loved it. There were warnings of wild animals like coyotes and owls in a few spots though but i didnt meet any thankfully. I really enjoyed my hike. The area is also bicycle assecible. There were a few people about but not really much. It is just like most hiking places. Trees around also make shade from the sun.

Great shaded walk that's approximately a one hour loop. Dog friendly with relative ease. There is one steep area that cannot be avoided, but the other path structures are well built with stairs and guard rails.

I love this park. It's a little slice of nature literally a stone's throw from the 29th Avenue SkyTrain station. You can hike right down to the creek which is cool. It's a great quick escape from the buzz of the city. The new boardwalk at the north end gets you right next to the water. Hopefully, the Parks board will extend it so it eventually runs all the way up to 29th Avenue.

This is a trail meandering in a calm and peaceful forest with an elevation gain of some 50 meters and a distance of 3.5 km.

Lights flickering, love deepening & Connections building. Full moons have mysterious powers, grateful to have spent this evening in the light of the full moon with my twin. Xo

Great place to go for a walk in the middle of the city. It's not a very long walk but its centralized and has great views and peaceful areas to relax and soak in some nature.

I live to this place two years almost and never knew that there is a hiking trail here
Its amazing

Beautiful hike, lots of steps on the western path (where it forks off from Brynlor Dr). We did them on the way down, the other side is a much more gradual incline. I didn't see any maps so, you may want to use your GPS if you're an anxious hiker like me:) Along the eastern return path, there's a cool old mossy stone retaining wall in an area that looks almost like an abandoned amphitheater. Would probably look very witchy and cool at night with the two big twisted (oak?) trees along the wall.
There's also an area of this park (North West end) that's very manicured, including a tennis court, playground, kids pool, field, etc
