Every place you go tells you that their parks are the best in the world but there aren’t many that can live up to that billing. Sure there are some that are gorgeous that will absolutely take your breath away but then there are some that are more than just that, they are something to really tell your friends and family about when you get back and when that happens it’s a magical moment. So when you are in the city of Burnaby you might want to check out their Central Park. It might be everything you could want from a park and more.

Burnaby is a place that until a decade ago wasn’t on many maps. People might have heard of it but weren’t really familiar with and then something changed: people started noticing just how good the city was and just how good it was going to get as more and more changes were on the horizon. There was the great selection of restaurants that had people raving from all over the world then there of course was the great addition of a wonderful nightlife that most people were just dying to be a part of but it didn’t just stop there. In fact there was more than that. Burnaby decided to let the world in on the best kept secret in the park world: Central Park.

It was founded in 1891 but it wasn’t until 1986 when the late Princess Diana showed up there on a visit did they discover what an amazing park this was and in the middle of one of the busiest cities in the area. It’s the exact reason why a park is so important. It’s a great way to take a much needed break from the norm and the hustle and bustle of daily life. This is why Burnaby is growing so much. The city understands that it’s not just about what people can buy but what the city has to offer it’s people that makes the difference.
