Deer Lake Park, Burnaby

Boundaries

Deer lake is an eighty-six acre lake located in the centre of the City of Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.[1]

Background Information

The City of Burnaby (from here onwards, Burnaby) has an inner city lake, a unique characteristic that sets it apart from other cities in British Columbia. As such, the urban landscape has been growing around the lake since the 1950s, and continues to grow as the city urban planners device ways to accommodate the vastly growing population.[1] Deer Lake has been providing the local residents with invaluable recreational opportunities for decades. However, the lake’s aquatic and terrestrial recreational future is being questioned as the lake’s integrity is being threatened by urbanism as it reaches new levels. Further, Deer Lake has been providing residents a variety of options for them to maintain their health. If the aesthetic and environmental aspects of the lake are not protected in the near future, Burnaby will have lost its best natural recreational facility.
