It's a great place to play that weird Pokemon game. The best coffee & desserts will be here as well.

Named after Dr Albert McBurney Dr. McBurney was Langley’s second doctor. Born in Quebec in 1884, he earned his medical degree at McGill before moving west in 1911. Albert and Olive, his wife, arrived in Fort Langley in 1914 where Dr. McBurney took over the practice of Dr. Marr as he served overseas. The McBurneys moved to Langley Prairie in 1919 after Dr. Marr had returned from overseas and practiced there. It was there, in the growing community of Langley Prairie, where tough times were often too often, that McBurney earned his reputation as a kind and caring doctor. He was known for never hesitating to provide care as he was always taking care of those who were unable to pay, and for making house calls to help those in need, to aid the sick, and to mend the injured no matter what the hour or the weather. He worked at Langley Memorial when it first opened, and also served as Langley’s municipal medical health officer and coroner until he retired in 1950. He died the next year, a few days after suffering a stroke. Dr. McBurney was involved in the Masonic Lodge, the Aldergrove Elks Lodge, the Royal Canadian Legion, and Langley Prairie’s May Day event. He was the creator of the Langley Amateur Athletic Association and president of the Langley Tennis Club. Previously McBurney Lane was just a laneway dominated by delapetated trees, parking stalls and travel aisles. Now in heart of it all, in the centre of the lane,the new and the beautiful McBurney Plaza is a large wooden deck that cascades across the old lane providing a venue for staged performances with casual wooden bench seating for the crowds to sit and enjoy the entertainment, a coffee with a friend, or even a romantic late night stroll. Nestled right in the downtown core of Langley the Plaza emphasizes pedestrian safety by providing a clearly marked path connecting from the historic centre thru to Douglas Park's new amphitheatre and cenotaph. The linear space features arching benches, a unified paving system, a double row of Katsura trees with drought tolerant perennials and grasses. Coordinated with the relocation of 26 parking stalls from the lane to an adjacent street, the Lane is now a pedestrian-priority space and an improved venue for numerous events including the Arts Alive Festival and the Langley Good Times Cruise-In, one of the most popular mixed car shows in North America.

A great gathering space for locals & visitors, with shops lined along the street, this open space offers a great venue for small local events! Come take a photo of the latest public art display and grab a lunch from one of the local restaurants!! #supportlocalsmallbusiness

Went to the Celtic music night here! It was so much fun, I recommend it to everyone! Three great bands, and you could get drinks and there was a food truck. They provided washrooms for the concert-goers and there was room to dance if you wanted. The front rows of the risers are very hard, so make sure to get the little seating mats they offer (free to borrow) or bring your own cushion. Planning to go to the next music night too, cause it was a blast!

A quaint little place in the downtown core to have a quick break as you enjoy the interesting and friendly local shops of downtown Langley.

Love this place

Scottimus Garrett

A neat little area to hang out while shopping along the one-way on Fraser on Langley. They have a pilot program that allows public consumption of alcohol during the afternoon and early evening. Cool idea.

Edgar Ignacio

Good place to relax while drinking your coffee. The art and graffiti around the place are eye catching and nice to take photos. A hidden jewel worth visiting

Kirk Dewhurst

Great plaza area in Langley City downtown. It’s great for community events and other public gatherings. There is no washroom facilities and parking is limited in the area. Enjoy a coffee or just associating with friends or family in this nice area.

I live in Langley and the restaurants and stores around Mcburney Plaza are fantastic. Today, August 24th 2019, was the annual Fork and Finger celebration. Lots of restaurants offer a $5 sampler of their cuisine. It's amazing!! There were food demonstrations in the main outdoor seating area, with free samples after. Good fun for everyone!!
