Parks
Burlington offers many parks for passive and active recreation. Below is a listing of parks maintained by Burlington Recreation & Parks. For a searchable listing of all facilities, see Facilities, Rentals & Reservation.
Burlington's updated tobacco free ordinance (including e-cigarettes & smokeless tobacco) at all Recreation and Parks properties is now in effect as of April 1st. Patrons are asked to refrain from using tobacco while at Recreation and Parks facilities and properties. Our goal for this new policy will be working together for voluntary compliance with our patrons. While we all adjust to this change, education and awareness will be a priority to help keep our parks system a healthy environment. New signage is being placed at primary locations in the park system as a reminder.
