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

20-30 police cars and a swat vehicle

going on right now

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.

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

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 ☺️
