Moved to Maple Ridge in May from north Van! I'm used to having lots of places to go with my pup for a swim or a shaded hike, but obvs haven't had the chance to explore my new community so I'm wondering where I should start! I've already been up to South beach (alouette lake) dog area, where we didn't have a very good experience. Gold creek was nice, but still busy. Horseman park is nice but a bit too public for our liking, and so far we have been enjoying Jerry Sulina Dog Park the most.
I've heard Hayward lake is nice but that there is limited parking that gets full & closes at a certain capacity.
Willing to drive for a nice swim and dog friendly place!! Also willing to hike-in.

Thanks y'all, any tips for exploring the area would be so appreciated!! we absolutely love it here so far ☺️

Another City of Maple Ridge Innovation (entrepreneur and tech) is coming up next week.

Just wandering I see a lot of people playing pickle ball during days and evenings, I am new to the city and trying to make socialize even though I am introvert but I have to help myself 😭. Is there a possibility I can join or someone wants me to team up with them.

Pro tip - I am professional ping pong player so I kinda think maybe familiar with rules and very good at handling rackets. Oops I don't have a pickle ball racket too, just realized that right now.

20-30 police cars and a swat vehicle

Honestly not sure how I would be able to help when I'm a 6-8 hour drive away

Does anyone have pics of the developer caused sink hole at Dewdney and 222/223?

I drove through it yesterday, July 19, both ways. It's beautiful.

Looking for recommendations of postpartum workout trainers in the area

Guessing it was in support of the ERT response that was posted by the RCMP.

Anyone else see this dog constantly out without its owner anywhere near? Or maybe you know the owner. Do i simply contact animal control?

Whom ever worked on this has my deepest gratitude.

We need more of it.

This is in the curb next to the driveway. Away from property line. Any idea what this pin is for?

It was really fucking loud, anyone know what it was?

My dad said it was a black hawk google said it might be RCMP?

Anyone know the story of the circling Blackhawk around 216 and 124th?

I live in a non smoking building, I work nights and I sometimes go for a walk around the Haney Hotel Chevron area because I can't get to sleep unless I've gotten some exercise in. I had a homeless man step up to me outside of my building on North Avenue with a long metal pipe in his hands asking if I was looking for something I told him no I'm not looking for anything I'm just trying to have a smoke and he goes off that I've been out there for hours staring at them. Yeah you'd have seen me hours ago having a smoke and going for a walk I've waved at them some ask hey brother how's it going and I acknowledge that things are going well and carry on my way. I don't bother them but some of them are extremely dangerous and after tonight's experience I'm no longer going to carry a narcan kit and I'm just going to go for a drive if I need a cigarette. I'm in a situation where I can't sell my apartment I'm stuck there for eternity because of the addicts.

We need a mental hospital like Riverview and Woodlands again to deal with all of the babies our friends in high school conceived when they were high as hell on MDMA and LSD and other chemical derivatives.

Has anyone tried it out? A friend just sent me a pic and it actually looks pretty cool, non-lame. On Dewdney across from Gratia and Woking Dragon. I’m going, just seeing if anyone else has it on their radar.

British Columbia's lowest personal income tax rate increased from 5.06% to 5.60%. Because this change took effect mid-year, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is applying a prorated rate of 6.14% for the July–December 2026 period to ensure the correct annual tax is collected.

Tech meet up tomorrow at the newly opened Night Owl Maple Ridge (Formerly Town Hall)!

I usually head to crescent for a sunset, but was wondering if there's anything closer or more local to maple ridge where I can toss a blanket down and watch a sunset? Any suggestions?

Hello!
I hear Cliff Falls has official closing times, but do any of you know whether the parking lot gets barred off? I’m hoping to use the picnic space for a Hobbit feast (lol) but we’ve tended to hang out deep into the night in past get together a — nothing stupid, just chatting
Thanks for your help!

Anybody know where I can take the dash cam that I already have for a reliable and discreet wiring installation?

It has sat in my closet for a couple years, but I think I've pushed my luck enough with not needing it, and would like to finally install it, nicer than it would be if I did it myself

Thanks, neighbours
