On February 6, 2026, shortly after 7:45 p.m., Burnaby frontline officers responded to a report of a sexual assault in the southwest corner of the park, near Grimmer Street and Dunblane Avenue.
The victim, a woman in her 30s, was walking through the park when an unknown man grabbed her from behind. The suspect covered her mouth with one hand and touched her groin and buttocks with the other. The woman fought back, prompting the man to flee through the park toward Marlborough Avenue.
