Downtown Maple Ridge is the vibrant heart of Maple Ridge. With excellent food, shopping, services, and events, it's good to Be Downtown. Here’s what’s happening in our downtown core.
Park Free on Weekends & Discover Downtown
The free weekend parking program is back with easier, affordable access to downtown events and amenities. Starting Saturday, April 4, until October 31, visitors can enjoy free weekend underground parking at the Maple Ridge Business Centre, in the heart of downtown Maple Ridge.
Taking advantage of free parking is easy – just register your vehicle at the parking metre in the parkade and enjoy up to four hours of free parking while you shop, dine and gather downtown.
Community Safety Pop-Up Events
Back for a third year, Community Safety Pop-Up events will take place every second Wednesday from May 20 through September 9. A different downtown location will host each event and offer residents and businesses a chance to connect with our Community Safety Team.
With support from the City, RCMP, and Downtown Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association (DMRBIA), these Community Safety Events focus on
- Enhancing community safety
