Caption from metadata for 535-2923-1: "Tom Sadler, of Burnaby's Parks and Rec Department, gets a spotter's-eye view of the playing fields at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex from the roof of the new viewing tower that is nearing completion. He says the rooftop area will be particularly useful for spotters working football games. The tower looks out over fields one and three."
Caption from metadata for 535-2923-2: "Tom Sadler, of Burnaby's Parks and Rec Department, demonstrates how the sliding windows in the new observation tower at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex can open to give an unobstructed view to the playing fields below. The windows had to be specially imported from Germany, and allows a tv camera to be set up inside the tower, safe from the elements, and still shoot the whole field."
