Maple Ridge offers a wide variety of parks, trails, recreation programs and amenities for you and your family to explore.
Important Summer Reminders
As you're out this summer enjoying all that Maple Ridge has to offer, here are a few key reminders so that we can continue to enjoy our beautiful parks, trails, rivers and wildlife for years to come!
Many local parks and lakes are popular summer destinations. Parking is limited and lots may fill up quickly during peak times.
Consider carpooling, walking, cycling, or using transit where possible.
Be prepared with an alternate destination in case your preferred location is full.
Parking is only permitted in designated areas at City lakes, parks and green spaces.
Vehicles parked illegally or blocking access points, including fire lanes or driveways, may be ticketed and/or towed at the owner's expense.
Traffic complaints around popular parks have increased, help reduce congestion by following all parking regulations.
Use designated bins for disposing of all litter to reduce attractants for wildlife.
If bins are full, take your trash home and dispose of it there.
Keep pets on a leash and clean up after them.
Clean up after yourself when using park facilities like picnic tables and barbecues.
Swim only in designated areas and follow all posted safety signs.
Supervise children around bodies of water to prevent accidents.
Keep noise to a minimum to respect other park visitors and the natural environment.
No smoking is permitted in City parks and trails.
Category 2 and 3 fire bans remain in effect. Campfires and briquette BBQs are not permitted in City parks.
Category 1 campfires are only allowed on eligible private properties. Check the online map to see if your address is eligible at MapleRidge.ca/BackyardBurning.
For outdoor cooking and heating, consider alternatives such as camping stoves or portable campfire apparatus using gas or propane, in designated picnic areas.
Do not trespass on private property along riverbanks or elsewhere in and around parks. Portions of the rivers are privately owned.
Stay within designated park boundaries and respect any posted signage.
