11930 224th Street
Since 2006, Memorial Peace Park has been featured in over 150 productions, from award-winning independent films like One Day This Kid, Lawrence and Halloman, and Broken Diamonds with Ben Platt and Lola Kirk, to beloved TV series like Van Helsing, Creepshow, and Supernatural with the wonderful Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, this park has seen it all.
If you were standing in this spot last summer, you may have seen 191 film workers on site shooting three separate action scenes for the season premiere of Tracker Season 3, including Justin Hartley speeding off in his car, sprinting through the park, and a dramatic stunt collision sequence at the intersection of the Haney Loop and Fraser Street. Tracker has earned its reputation in Maple Ridge as “the fast-paced” show, with the average turnaround from scouting to filming being only a matter of days. This bustling film day in Memorial Peace Park, including the closure of Fraser Street and Haney Place Loop where you stand, was coordinated and brought to camera in under a week! It brought economic stimuli to 31 businesses, generated an estimated $30,000 in direct economic impact, and means we’re all less than six degrees of separation from Justin Hartley too.
In fact, in 2025, Tracker’s dreamy protagonist would have travelled over 11,000 km in the “Tracker universe” but really travelled about only 40 km in Maple Ridge. Tracker spent 105 days prepping, shooting, and wrapping across the city to film 12 episodes in just one year.
And just when you thought the commotion in Memorial Peace Park couldn’t be topped last summer, another (very different) season premiere was shot just six days later for Fire Country Season 4, with so many American flags you’d think you were at the White House. One, which hung from a fire truck's aerial ladder, was over 10 meters (or 32 feet) long. Tracker would then return to Memorial Peace Park eight days later for the second episode of Season 3. A bit over a month later in October, you would have been in for a spooky treat as the park was transformed into the anniversary festival of the Corkscrew Killer for Season 3 Episode 6 of Wild Cards.
This park is far from the only location in downtown Maple Ridge that’s played as a plethora of film sets, however. Let’s take a walk further east over to the plaza of the ACT Arts Centre & Theatre.
