Keeping it green
Maple Ridge council has decided, for now,
what to do with the grassy, treed lot that most
assume is part of Memorial Peace Park.
When the old park was renovated, the band-
stand and cenotaph relocated and the over-
grown pond removed, the lot in front of the
Leisure Centre was supposed to be used for a
hotel. But plans for that never materialized.
The district accepted a few suggestions at
a recent open house concerning the patch of
grass, which provides shade during lunch in
the summer, is used to park classic cars dur-
ing Canada Day celebrations and pitch tents
during swim meets. And it is used heavily dur-
ing the Haney Farmers’ Market, the society
for which wants to keep the lot as is.
The Maple Ridge Historical Society, however,
wants a new museum built on it. It has been
lobbying for a new building for several years,
but is continually told there is no money set
aside for such. Meanwhile, a good part of the
museum’s archives are stored away in boxes
and basements, because the existing museum
building along the bypass is too small.
But there seems to be little appetite on coun-
cil, other than Mike Morden, to put a new mu-
seum on the downtown lot.
Coun. Cheryl Ashlie likes the idea of a spray
park there. But that’s probably not a good idea
considering the district already had trouble
with people bathing in the park’s water foun-
tains.
