Reopen the Velodrome Stairs on Burnaby Mountain!!

The Velodrome Stairs on Burnaby Mountain have been an important part of our community for years. People use them every day for fitness, recreation, and mental well-being. They’re more than just stairs; they’re a place where people connect, stay healthy, and enjoy nature.

Recently, the stairs were closed without any notice or explanation. This sudden closure has left many locals without a safe and affordable place to exercise outdoors. The community deserves clear communication and access to public spaces that support physical and mental health.

People of all ages and backgrounds use the Velodrome Stairs — from athletes in training to families and casual walkers. Losing this space has affected everyone who depends on it for their daily routines and personal well-being.

We’re asking the City of Burnaby and all responsible authorities to reopen the Velodrome Stairs as soon as possible. We also ask that regular maintenance and safety checks be done, and that the public be informed ahead of any future closures.

Please sign this petition to show your support for reopening the Velodrome Stairs. Together, we can remind the city how important accessible outdoor fitness spaces are to our health, happiness, and sense of community.
