City of Maple Ridge: Have Your Say on City's Final Phase of Parks, Recreation & Culture Master Plan
The City of Maple Ridge is inviting the community to have their say in the fourth and final development phase for the new Parks, Recreation, and Culture Master Plan.
The Plan will serve as a roadmap for programs, services, capital funding, and infrastructure while providing Council and staff a point of reference to inform data-driven and transparent decisions.
Before the Plan is taken to Council for endorsement, a final Community Check-In Survey will help to confirm whether the draft Plan captures the community’s vision for the future of the City’s parks, recreation, and arts/culture programs, services, and infrastructure. The survey closes December 31, 2022, at 12:00 p.m. and respondents can enter to win a $200 gift certificate to a local business or a pre-paid Visa gift card.
The plan includes 94 Strategies organized into four sections (Parks and Open Spaces, Recreation Facilities, Arts and Culture Infrastructure, and Service Delivery). Residents are encouraged to review the Executive Summary before taking the Final Community Check-In Survey to identify if a priority is absent from the 94 Strategies.
“This will truly be the community’s plan,” said Mayor Dan Ruimy. “The 94 strategies that have emerged are thanks to citizens’ insightful feedback, creative ideas, and engagement. The survey is an important opportunity for residents to confirm the Plan represents their needs and to see how their feedback will shape the future of Maple Ridge over the next ten years.”
The City started developing the plan in the spring of this year and extensive engagement was undertaken over the various phases, including through online surveys, staff discussions, stakeholder meetings, and pop-up engagement opportunities at events and community centers.
Next Steps
After the Final Community Check-In Survey closes, we will identify emerging themes from your feedback. The final draft will then go to the Parks, Recreation & Culture Advisory Committee and then to Council for endorsement.Learn More About the Plan
