Brentwood Park
Brentwood Park is a peaceful, attractive North Burnaby neighbourhood bounded by Willingdon Avenue to the west and Holdom Avenue to the east. Parker Street separates it from the Capitol Hill area to the north, while the Lougheed Highway marks the dividing line between this residential area and a commercial / industrial land to the south. Housing is mostly single-family but there are a number of high-rise and low-rise rental buildings in its south-east corner, near Springer Avenue. Several condominium towers are planned for the south edge of the area, along Skytrain tracks. The area is served by two stations of the newly constructed Millennium Line - Brentwood Station and Holdom Station. A busy bus loop is steps away from Brentwood Station, the bus service connects Brentwood with UBC, Nanaimo Station, Kootenay Loop, Metrotown and other major points.
Brentwood Mall, a popular shopping centre featuring such destinations as London Drugs, Zellers and Sears, is located in the south-west corner of the area.
Brentwood Park has a unique cobweb-like grid with a centrally located park of the same name. Next to the park is Brentwood Park Elementary School. Beecher Park off Springer Avenue is a lovely little park with a stream running through it that joins Still Creek south of the Lougheed Highway and eventually flows into Burnaby Lake. It's called Beecher Creek, it provides habitat for local salmon species. A walk along shady banks of Beecher Creek carving its path through a ravine between two streets is a pleasant pastime on a hot summer day.
There are a number of churches in the area, mainly along Delta Avenue.
