Reviews of Byrne Creek Ravine Park (Park)

Devon Farmer

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.

Wonderful hike.

Yelyzaveta Yaremenko

As usual in BC, very nice Park with good playground and peaceful surroundings, pathes are good for walks, jogging and cycling. Recommend this place!

david d'arge

A natural uncovered ravine with a salmon spawning creek running through it. Walkable trails surround it as well as a park, wading pool, basketball court, lacrosse box, ball diamond, and tennis courts. Very close to Edmonds Skytrain.

Tyler Grusendorf

It's pretty darn close to actually being in nature. Great for a good hike down the ravine and up the other side. Has dirt paths as well as a paved path around the park. Lots of up and down but I like it there.

Dhindsa Vlogs

Awesome place to visit and take a break

Christian Thomassen

Great short trail, the elevation change and all the stairs make for a great leg work out

Russell March

I really enjoyed it here. Had never been, it was a very rainy day, and even with that everything was so lush and fresh! There are a few steps, and some parts are slightly less friendly if you were in say sandles. But the area is beautiful and nice. Can walk all the way around it. Fun for a short trek or the whole thing. Plenty of place to stop and relax, have a bite to eat. There are some little fairy houses out there and painted rocks. Super cool to have when there is so much else going on around

Naomi

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.

(Translated) A beautiful Park to walk oh do a little exercise. In salmon season, it is a place where they lay their eggs. Amazing live it (Original) Un parque Lindo para caminar oh realizar un poco de ejercicio. En temporada de salmón, es un lugar donde ponen sus huevecillos. Increíble vivirlo

If you went to Taylor park fro elementary school then I recommend his place because it's very close to a lot of people and is a very good neighborhood to be in.

Eng CF

Very nice trail, very easy and relaxing.

fierydawns

An island of a wild forest. Beautiful immaculate nature.

Jegook Lee

Quite difficult to return to the parking if you walk around the loop.

Dennis Simon

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

Manny Wiebe

Such a nice trail and park. I go for runs here almost every morning now. ????

Rob R

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.

Jamie Carballo

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.

David Yule

Nice escape from urban life with access from the skytrain

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. Daniel

David Victoria

Beautiful trails to follow, you immerse yourself in nature. Though not a huge park, its trees, plants and wildlife are worth visiting. Good bike trails also.

LOUIS APPLE

Mixed Breed (TerriC)

Nice walking paths amongst a highly residential area.

Christian Gotengco

Great walk.

Global Local

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

Adam Matheny

A nice spot for a hike ,with a few trails ,there are two main trails one on either side of the ravine ,and a paved bike path as well, the one trail follows the Byrne Creek for awhile before climbing up around 300 stairs back up the ravine ,a good workout for sure ,and also a beautiful walk in nature right in the middle of the city !

Xopher Pryde

Beautiful spot for a walk - shady canopy on a hot day.

A. Pourmomtaz

One of the best hikes closeby. Natural, diverse, accessible, beautiful.

Ray K

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

AK Pillai

Love the ambiance!

For a small park it has some nice trails with an incline. You can even bring your hiking shoes for some parts if you like. We walked around in runners.

Shelby Borgelt

Beautiful park, not too crowded when I went on a chilly Sunday morning

Alistair Irving (Laing)

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.

Guilherme Chagas de Mello

Short and easy hiking. Beautiful during winter time

Alexander Cattalani

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.

Small gem of a park, thank you for volunteers and locals for maintaining it. Spawning salmon, owls, trails and bike path. The stairs (200 steps) also provide a great cardio exercise.

Beautiful park for light in city exploring.

E Emaly Tsai

This park has great summer activities for the community. I take my daycare children to here very often!

Great place in the city

Su Lin Chen

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.

Daniel Hubert

It's a great solo hike, theres one section going back up the bank which I want to mark out for others so it's easy to find.

Kare & Randy

Really enjoyed this trail! Very peaceful and not too busy. If you do a loop, beware that there are several sets of stairs. Also, it's a multi use trail, so there are lots of cyclists.

Heather Reandy

Go up the steps not down.

Amber Munce

Excellent park with a great workout!

Kimberley miyoung Kim

So peaceful and sensitive

Bright Light

A nice hike that is a bit rough at parts and can go down into the ravine.

Stephanie McCullough

A gem in metro Vancouver

Susan Willows

Byrne Creek Ravine is a great place for a walk in the woods. The City of Burnaby has built steps on the hills to make it easier to walk. It begins at Ron McLean Park, near Rumble, and ends at Southridge Dr. There's a nice creek where you might see salmon, all contained in a forest to offer shade in the summer. Begin at Rumble, just west of Griffiths, or, if you want to climb a steep grade, begin at Marine Drive, East of Gilley.

Selina Yang

Great place to have daily exercise! Climbing the stairs 9-10 times just like went to GG.

Albert Hounslow

Great little city hike. Ĺots of wildlife, including bears!

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.

Kyle Isaac

Love the trail system here. Great place for a hike!

Paul Donovan

At just over 3 kilometres this is a lovely urban / nature walk. We started by the washrooms (thank you for this amenity) and went clockwise. You have a choice. Going this direction you are on a mostly downward slope until you get to the …

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.

Pratik Trivedi

Great hike in the middle of the city!

Daniel Chow

The off pavement trail is very nice. Surrounded almost entirely in the woods and good hike for about 200 steps climbing back up. 45 min in a loop. Not too busy even on weekends

Steve

Nice trails around the ravine,. Good for dog walking.

Angela Lee

This was a lovely walk, with just enough challenging moments to keep it interesting for the kids (ages 3 to 14) without being too difficult

Sarah Samir

Great place

Steve Frey

A beautiful urban nature preserve. Went there on my own. Highly recommend for the tranquil surroundings and the slower pace you can get into just being surrounded by all the beautiful tree's, stream, other relaxed walkers, and their dogs.

Oliver L

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

Vinh Son Nguyen Dinh

Good place for a walk in the morning.

Richard Kwon

Good for walking. Healing good.

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

Beautiful place for a walk or a drive!

Kris Kelly

A great place to hug a tree lol

Quiet and a great place to bike

Lister Chen

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

Ana Sánchez-Mejía

Lovely

Graham Butler

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.

DionDap

It's a nice place

It was excellent for photos. It is a nice place to have a short walk.

Nice interesting park that's good for all skills levels. Went with the kids and dog but we got a bit lost and confused as there isn't much signage. Lucky I checked it out a bit online before we started so we figured it out. Signs and markers would be nice.

The trail around the Creek is very pretty and private. The entire loop takes about an hour to complete and has about 30-40 metres of elevation difference. Some part of the trail is right on the edge of the cliff that you might want to avoid if you have small active children with you. Plenty of parking along the road on northwestern side of the park.

Joseph C.

It is a easy to get there.

Joe Poon

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.

Anmol Singh

Great neighborhood trail system. Has some hills and stairs if you want to get your cardio going; otherwise an excellent place to go for a casual walk with plenty of shade during the summers. Connects to Ron McLean park where there are several several outdoor facilities (ex. a basketball court, a roller hockey oval, a baseball diamond, a splash pool, tennis courts, and a picnic area) to take advantage of.
