Improvements at Maple Ridge Park will result in some upcoming parking lot closures.
The north parking lot at 132 Avenue will be closed May 19 to 21, and the south parking lot on 232 Street will be temporarily closed starting May 21 for at least six weeks. These closures are due to parking lot construction and drainage improvements that are part of the next phase of park upgrades.
To help support park access during construction, a temporary overflow parking lot with more than 100 stalls north of the park on 132 Avenue is available. Visitors can cross 132 Avenue/Fern Crescent by using the marked crosswalks on either side of the new overflow lot. The lot will remain open on an interim basis to provide overflow parking during busy summer months.
While work is underway, several popular park amenities will remain open to the public, including the playground, spray park (scheduled to open in June, pending approval from Fraser Health), large picnic shelter, and existing washroom.
Construction needs to be completed during dry weather and according to the city contractor’s schedule.
A portion of the north parking lot will remain temporarily closed to support construction staging and storage for the duration of this phase of the project.
As construction continues, there will be impacts to some of the picnic areas in the park. The large picnic shelter will remain available to rent seven days a week at a 25 per cent reduced rate. Nearby daily construction activity is expected throughout most of 2026, though weekend impacts are unlikely.
The small picnic shelter will be removed to accommodate construction of a new shelter.
Uncovered picnic tables will remain available during construction.
