September 2025 - Update
Getting closer to construction. The City has chosen a contractor to construct the multi-use sports court, and once details are finalized the work will start. The expected start date is near the end of September with the anticipated completion date to be the middle of December.
January 2025 - Update
A plan for the new Multi-Sports court is being developed. Thank you for your patience as we continue to work through a regulatory permitting process. Construction of the multi-use sports court is anticipated to start once the design and background reporting has been completed.
The baseball diamond and backstop fencing improvements have been deferred at this time.
We will continue to update this page with more information on construction timeline as details are determined. Thank you for your patience.
October 2023 – What We Heard and Next Steps
Thank you to all who participated in our neighbourhood consultation process that was held this summer. Over the course of the engagement period we received 49 survey submissions.
63% of respondents to the survey indicated that they would like to see a new sports court added to Kin Park. While 61% of respondents agreed with the proposed location shown on the information panels.
While there appears to be a strong interest from the neighbourhood to play basketball at Kin Park and at the proposed location, there were some concerns raised about the size of a full-size sports court at the proposed location and its impact on grass open space.
To support residents request to play basketball in the park while retaining an open grass area for informal use we are proposing to install a half size multi-sport court with basketball and mini hockey goals. The location of the half court is shown below.
We will also be improving the existing baseball field with a new backstop and players benches.
July 2023 - Community Engagement
The Maple Ridge Parks, Recreation & Culture department is proposing to install a new full-size multi-use sports court at Kin Park. This is based on the responses that the City received following a survey in November 2022, exploring adding a basketball hoop onto the existing tennis court.
As part of this process, we have identified a proposed location for a multi-use sports court that minimizes potential tree impacts. Please see the map for location and additional information.
Take the Survey: CLOSED
Please take this survey by September 8, 2023 to have your say on the proposed location for a multi-use sports court at Kin Park.
