Be Downtown

Last updated on

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.

Social Saturdays Return

Get social with another season of connections and celebration! Running every Saturday from April 18 through October 31 from 9 am – 2 pm, Memorial Peace Park will be transformed into a pedestrian-only space. Enjoy picnics, the Haney Farmers Market or one of the many festivals and community events happening throughout the season.  

Note that vehicles will not be permitted in the park during these hours, including the Haney Place loop near the front entrances of the Maple Ridge Leisure Centre and ACT Arts Centre. Parking is available in the underground parkade via Dewdney Trunk Road and Edge Street, near the Haney Place Bus Exchange, and along 224 Street.
