Nice park with a really weird layout. Parking here is not the best. On the N side there's a winding street that ends in a tiny lot. On the S side, there are spots running along Garrett. The strange thing is that the N and S sides of the park aren't connected by car road. The road on the N side is narrow and windy, and everyone (illegally?) parks on the side of the road. Super sketchy in terms of potential hit and run. I had to drive back out of the park once I realized I was on the wrong side and that the roads weren't connected. There is no lot on the S side, so parking is a war zone. I feel bad for the residents there. Once the parking is out of the way, the park itself is quite nice. There's a baseball diamond, kiddie water park, lacrosse court, and swimming pool. Something for everyone. With that said, everyone I saw there was baking as there simply aren't enough trees to provide shade. This would be my next biggest complaint. The park is honestly a bit too busy for my liking. The fact it's located along a busy street (North/Columbia) really doesn't help. Personally I would pick another one of the many others for hosting events. read more

Hume Park - Lacrosse area~ - Playgrounds Near Me - New Westminster, British Columbia

My kids and dog loved the park. There is a dog run that leads to larger open area for the dogs to play. Unfortunately no there was a French bulldog there that wouldn't stop barking at my playful Ausiedoodle. The owner was looking but didn't get his dog to stop. he actually nipped my dog in the leg so I decided to take my dog out of the dog park and go looking for the creek with my children. Unfortunately we couldn't find the creek... clearly we were looking at the wrong area lol read more

A tiny park in New West. There's a tiny river that runs through it. It's called the Brunette River, and it looks more like a creek. In the Fall, if you're lucky, you might see salmon return to the river. If you go upstream a bit more through the wooded area, it becomes larger and wider. It's an ideal place to try some fly fishing for trout with a dry fly. This dull looking river is filled with many species of aquatic species. There are rainbow trout, coho, chum, sockeye, chinook and steelhead, as well as cutthroat trout, carp, stickleback, red-sided shiners, prickly sculpins, smallmouth bass and peamouth chub. There are also crayfish, lampreys and tadpoles. Yes, I said crayfish and they actually look like small lobsters! You gotta see it to believe it! How exotic eh? There is also a swimming pool, a small playground for the kids and some green space for the dogs. Honestly, nothing special really. Brunette River is what makes this park unique. All salmon hooked must be released because salmon fishing is prohibited. read more

I actually didn't know that this park existed. Its a very hidden neighborhood park just off the highway and behind a bunch of trees. There are two parking lots located at the end of both sides of the park. There is a very interesting and clean water park area. This park is great for BBQ. There are a few benches set up for picnic or bbq. Great for kids and great for big groups. read more

Although it's a tiny park, everything is jam packed into it. A playground, bathroom, covered eating area, off leash dog play area, a small river and baseball field. It's fine in the mornings and afternoons, but would not suggest visiting at night, as the crowd gets a bit sketchy in the evenings. I mainly go for the off leash dog park. It's a fairly narrow fenced in area, surrounding the baseball field. Usually there are a few dogs that come to great us at the gates. On rainy days, it gets quite muddy, so if you plan to go, bring some wet-wipes or towel for the care ride home. Only downside is, the usual dog owners there, aren't very welcoming. However, my dog enjoys her time there, which is the only thing that matters. Parking area looks small, but if you drive in further, there is another place to park near the dining area. read more

We go to Hume Park mainly for its big, sunny dog park. The dog park is all fenced in, doesn't have a lot of trees shading it like the one at Queen's Park, and seems to attract a lot of other people with bigger dogs, too. The dog run is shaped like a big L that wraps around some of the park's other features, like a sports field, kids' playground and water park, and an outdoor pool for summer. The only drawback to this park is that there isn't a lot of parking. But most of the users are locals, and it's on bus and bike routes, so it doesn't seem to be a huge issue for most of the year. It's on a hillside and there's a nice view from where I'm standing, watching my dog play. I think it's nice when we dog people get a pleasant place to hang out; so often, you're relegated to a damp muddy pit with your mutt. read more

Excellent dog park! Long area with grass, a fountain (turned off in winter cause the pipes freeze but locals usually bring gallon jugs of water for everyone) great community, responsible dog owners at this park! I do feel the park would benefit from a small separately fenced small-dogs only area for little dogs that get mowed over by accident by big dogs. But overall this park is awesome! read more

This review is fort he dog park, nice big space with a great layout. I really like how my dog can run around the path that goes all the way around the park. Pretty muddy, the city needs to add mulch or gravel in parts. In Burnaby the dog parks often have double gates so no four legged friends run away when people are entering and exiting. Practical since the door gets crowded when a new dog is being greeted! Get on it new west read more

Great playground. Perfect for group people with kids to hang out; easy find parking, they have either 2 hours or 3 hours parking right beside the playground; water park and swimming pool right beside too. Don't have any inside seat, so won't suggest to go on a raining day. Don't have indoor party room. It's a great park for outside play only. read more

(A-very-family-review) When it comes to kids and parks, they like space and variety! So my kids loved this park, it has a good splashing pool, swimming pool, play sets, and wide space to play multi sports. All of these in park that dogs are supposed to be leached. the place is fine in terms of distance supervision, so you set comfortably and watch the kids! There is a good parking space in front of the park, but it's limited for two hours limit, though not sure who much this limit is enforced The park does not have any close by shops to buy any snacks from, so you need to plan your picnic right. read more

Up until this year I had never been to Hume Park, at least not when I have been driving. So this year when I decided to play softball in the Spring it was nice to be "stationed" here. Admittedly I only used the ball diamonds, port-a-potty and dog park/run. The ball diamonds were good. There of course were the days where I felt like I was eating dirt but not much the park could do about that. I didn't like that the outfields are really close together and we'd end up in other field sometimes, although not when I was up to bat *snicker*. The port-a-potty by Diamond 2 was exactly that, a good smelly place to have a pee while have a couple cold ones playing ball on a Friday night. It was never horrid and seemed to be kept up so although unpleasant as all outside potty's are, it wasn't that bad. Now for the dog run/park. I didn't get to use it much but the hubby and my boys (Puck & Oberon) did while I was playing and they loved it. It surrounds the ball diamonds so the boys could watch my play if they chose or go for a walk about. It is definitely handy to have so close to the fields. As for the kids area, I can't really comment on those but I am looking forward to next ball season at Hume. read more
