Guidebook for New Westminster

The Central Valley Greenway (CVG) is a 24-kilometre pedestrian and cyclist route in Metro Vancouver, running from Science World in Vancouver to New Westminster, through Burnaby. The greenway provides a safe corridor for commuters and a green route to local parks. In the Burnaby and New Westminster sections, the route runs near the Millennium SkyTrain Line. The route follows the Central Valley, providing a remarkably flat route through a hilly region. Most sections of the trail, a combination of off-road paths and quality on-street routes, are suitable for many users (pedestrians, commuter and recreational cyclists, wheelchair users, in-line skaters, etc.). In Burnaby there are some gravel paths less suitable for in-line skating. Sections of the trail in Burnaby passing through Burnaby Lake Regional Park (pedestrian route) and along the Brunette River are open during daylight hours only. The Central Valley Greenway winds its way from the Science World Area all the way to New Westminster. If you want to take your time during the trip, there are some great stops along the way, including: Trout Lake Park, the East Van sign, Deer Lake Park, and New Westminster Quay. Once you’ve made it to Science World, either hop on the skytrain if you’re too tired to ride back, or begin the journey back to New West, retracing your route from before.
