Recreation options in Burbank vary by activity: in addition to walking paths and a skate park, there is a seasonal sledding hill, sports facilities, a dog park, and water attractions. If you are considering the area for a stay, you can start with the kind of recreation you have in mind and choose parks based on the specific activities they offer.

Walking Paths, Sledding, and a Skate Park

Harr Park has a walking path. Narragansett Park also has a walking path, as well as a skate park. If you are planning a walk, both of these parks have a walking path; Narragansett also offers skating. Harry’s Hill is Burbank’s sledding hill in Michael Looney Park. As a seasonal sledding attraction, it differs from the walking paths and skate park. If sledding is a key part of your stay, take its seasonal nature into account when planning. The paths and skate park are recreation options, while Harry’s Hill is a seasonal sledding hill. When choosing, you can therefore consider whether a walking path, skating, or a seasonal sledding activity should shape your stay.

Dog Park and Sports Facilities

Adjacent to Commissioner's Park is Burbank Barking Lot, a dog park with separate areas for large and small dogs. For travelers with a dog, both the specific facility and its size-based layout are useful factors to consider: you can plan your stay around the dog park rather than treating dog-friendly options as simply a general part of a park visit.

Rice Park has two tennis courts, with markings that also accommodate pickleball. Newcastle Park offers five softball/baseball fields. This gives you a specific comparison between court and field sports, as well as between the two sports groups mentioned. Choose based on the activity that matters most to you.

Water Attractions and Day Camps

At Stevenson Park, Burbank Water Park includes a swimming pool, a pool with a water slide, and a splash pool. These three features offer distinct options for swimming, sliding, and splashing. In addition, the Burbank Park District’s summer day camps include sports, arts and crafts, outdoor games, field trips, and swimming. If you are considering a summer day camp as part of your travel plans, it offers a program of its own; the activities listed specifically apply to camp participants. Swimming appears in two different contexts here: as part of the water park facilities and as one of several summer day camp activities. This lets you distinguish a water attraction from a broader camp program.

More Information to Help Plan Your Stay
