Burnaby – South Slope

South Slope is a large established family neighbourhood of detached homes, townhomes and condo towers. The neighbourhood is located between Marine Drive and Rumble Street, from Griffiths in the east to Patterson in the west and offers several schools, sports facilities and great parks.

Neighbourhood amenities

The South Slope neighbourhood may be on the side of a hill, but it’s got no shortage of parks. Riverway Sports Complex, in the area’s southwest corner, is a multisport recreational facility with soccer and softball fields as well as an outdoor lacrosse box.

Byrne Creek Ravine Park bisects much of the neighbourhood. The park straddles Byrne Creek, an urban waterway that has been lovingly restored to its natural splendour by dedicated stream keepers. The stream is home to spawning salmon and even trout. A network of trails runs through the forested area along the creek.

The neighbourhood is also right in the middle of three commercial districts, Metrotown, Highgate and Market Crossing and it has easy access to two SkyTrain stations at Edmonds and Royal Oak.
