Those frustrated by driving to Maple Ridge Park, but not being able to get parked, will be happy to hear the city has a solution.
A new gravel overflow parking lot will be added near the popular outdoor amenity, just north of the park on 132nd Avenue/Fern Crescent.
The park at the corner of 232 Street and 132 Avenue is the oldest in Maple Ridge.
The new lot will provide 108 new parking stalls, with a crosswalk connecting to the park. Construction will start early in the year, and opening is planned for summer of 2026.
The coming year will see more improvements at the park, with three new picnic shelters, a new washroom building, and the existing parking lot paved. The improvements will increase the parking capacity in the park from 95 spaces to 137 paved and lined stalls. This is on top of new playground equipment and an updated spray park – works that have already been completed.
