October 2020 – Public Comment Period
The Maple Ridge Parks, Recreation & Culture department is proposing to replace the play equipment at Country Lane North Park (corner of 102A Ave and 243 St), the play structure at Creek’s Crossing Park (corner of Hill Ave and 240A St) as well as replace the spring toys at Country Lane South Park (corner of 101 Ave and 244 St).
These playgrounds were originally installed by the developers of these residential areas and have now been identified for replacement due to their age and condition. The small spray pads at both Country Lane Parks were refurbished and piece of play equipment was replaced at Country Lane South earlier this year.
These neighbourhood playgrounds were designed for the 2-5 year old age range of children. We would like to hear from area residents about what kind or types of play equipment you would like to see these playgrounds replaced with.
Due to COVID-19 we are encouraging residents to submit comments online. We invited your feedback on this project from October 2 to October 21, 2020. Thank you for your input. We will now review and compile all the comments we’ve received in order to inform the next steps in purchasing play equipment for these parks.
Additional questions and comments can also be directed to Chad Neufeld, Manager of Parks Planning & Development, at 604 467-7338 (ext. 2) or by email to cneufeld@mapleridge.ca.

Silver Valley Gathering Place – Blaney Hamlet
Project Description:
The Parks, Recreation & Culture Infrastructure projects include a gathering place project in the Silver Valley area with the first being in the Blaney Hamlet neighbourhood. Additional land was acquired in 2020 to support this initiative. This first gathering place is proposed to be located adjacent to the new neighbourhood park on 230A Street.
In addition to developing a gathering place at this location, the City is exploring developing youth action amenities along with a bike skills park as a sponsored feature. We would like to hear your thoughts on desired amenities and programming for the gathering place, as well as to hear what kind of youth action amenities may be desired.
