Big Bend is Burnaby’s most southerly neighbourhood. It flanks the shore of the Fraser River from Boundary Road to the border with New Westminster along Marine Drive. The neighbourhood mixes rural agricultural, industrial, commercial, recreational and residential. Most homes are along Marine Drive, a large pocket between Byrne Road and Marine Way. A new enclave of townhomes is being developed at the foot of Patterson Avenue.
The area also houses some of Burnaby’s largest employers, including Ballard Power Systems, Best Buy, and Alpha Technologies.
Neighbourhood Amenities
Outdoor recreational opportunities abound in Big Bend. Walking trails and parks line the shore of the Fraser River from the neighbourhood’s east end to the Vancouver border and beyond. There are also forested trails in Byrne Creek Ravine Park just off Marine Drive.
The Riverway Golf Course is a municipally owned championship-calibre golf course with amenities like a driving range, pro shop, clubhouse, snack bar, and restaurant. Nearby, the Riverway Sports Complex boasts eight grass pitches, six softball diamonds, an outdoor lacrosse box, and a fieldhouse.
A number of the small farms in the neighbourhood make their crops, as well as fresh flowers, available at market stalls. There’s also full-service shopping at Market Crossing with a selection of grocery and specialty retailers, as well as Canadian Tire, London Drugs, clothing shops and restaurants. Across Marine Way, another shopping complex is home to big box retailers like Staples, Winners, SportChek and PetSmart.
Schools
- Glenwood Elementary (K-7)
Transit
The 22nd Street Station, which services the Millennium and Expo lines, is located at the eastern edge of the Big Bend neighbourhood. Frequent bus services through the neighborhood connect to it, as do the stations at Edmonds and Metrotown.
