Bassano Neighbourhood – Local Green Space + Recreation

The healthiest neighbourhoods are those that create opportunities – to belong, to grow, and to simply be. These communities celebrate variety, connection, and ease. You walk or bike from place to place. Where we live inevitably becomes interwoven with our personal stories and identities.

Bassano rises from a pocket of Burnaby that is closely connected to the energy and amenities of a growing city – while maintaining a sense of tranquility within. This walkable neighbourhood on the cusp of Brentwood is a desirable urban environment for families and offers a green escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Nature is a captivating companion through the seasons. Whether it’s the vibrant bloom of spring, the lush greenery of summer, the fiery hues of autumn, or the tranquil snowscapes of winter, each season paints the local greenways with its unique charm. Walking amongst the trees offers a restorative experience.

Velodrome Trail

 

For those seeking to pursue an active lifestyle, Burnaby’s network of bike paths offers an exhilarating way to explore the area. Cyclists can journey through scenic routes that wind through parks and along waterways, enjoying the fresh air and the beauty of their surroundings. One of many great paths nearby is the The Central Valley Greenway, a 24km path connecting Vancouver, Burnaby and downtown New Westminster. Perfect for commuters, it follows a shallow valley, providing a scenic route that’s relatively flat for an enjoyable bike ride or walk for people of all ages.
