Parks, Recreation & Culture Master Plan
Engage with the PRC Master Plan
The City of Maple Ridge is developing a new Parks, Recreation & Culture (PRC) Master Plan to serve as a road map for services/programs, capital funding and infrastructure while providing Council and staff a point of reference to inform data-driven and transparent decisions. The new Plan, intended to establish future priority projects and focus areas for the next 10+ years, will succeed the 2010 Plan created under the joint recreation model between the City of Maple Ridge and City of Pitt Meadows.
The Plan’s development will involve extensive community engagement using a variety of methods with most of the engagement occurring through the spring and summer of 2022. When a draft Plan is available, further community engagement will help to validate key content and directions. The engagement strategy will also take into consideration demographic groups that may require unique methods of engagement or who are traditionally at risk of exclusion. The City is committed to creating a PRC Master Plan that truly captures the needs of the entire community while working to remove barriers to participation.
