Burnaby – Suncrest

Suncrest is a suburban family neighbourhood in the southwest corner of Burnaby. It is comprised of mostly single-family detached homes and is bounded by Boundary Road, Patterson Avenue, Marine Drive, and Imperial Street.

Neighbourhood amenities

Suncrest is close to some of Burnaby’s best recreational and natural parks. The Riverway Sports Complex is just at the base of the neighbourhood. Its soccer pitches, ball diamonds and outdoor lacrosse box are an allure to recreational athletes, young and old. Just across Marine Way, the Riverway Golf Club is a championship calibre municipal course with rolling bunkers and undulating greens, a driving range, a well, and a beautiful new clubhouse featuring a full-service restaurant, banquet service and snack bar.

Just a short distance from Suncrest’s northern edge, Central Park is Burnaby’s largest urban park. Walking trails crisscross beneath majestic cedars, ducks paddle in two ponds, and tai chi enthusiasts pierce the morning mist during their daily workouts. The park features a nine-hole par three golf course, an outdoor pool, tennis courts, and Swangard Stadium, which hosts community festivals and sporting events.

Suncrest is close to the Metrotown and Market Crossing commercial areas.
