Highway
Turn left on 222^nd
Turn right on Dewdney Trunk Road (next light)
Go through the Haney chaos
Turn left on 248th St (at Garibaldi Secondary) and follow it
till you start thinking you’re lost
The road will go to the right and snake a bit as you go down
a hill
It will come to “T” with a stop sign and just go to the
right. 
Park entrance is on the left of the sort-of cul-de-sac

If you wish to Google the directions, use the address for the
Alouette River Management Society which is located in the
park – 24959 Alouette Road, Maple Ridge

Site Information

• This park is in direct proximity to the Alouette River.
  Rivers have fast moving currents so if you have small
  children or animals with you at the event, please keep your
  eyeballs glued to them at all times, especially when near the
  water.
• No fire pits. Permission will be sought regarding using
  apropane brazier/fire pit subject to fire restrictions. If
  you have one you would like to use, please speak with the
  Event Steward first. Must be CSA approved.
• Absolutely no garbage can be left behind. PLEASE leave
  the site cleaner than found it. If you pack it in, pack it
  out.
• There is a Noise bylaw which states 10pm for quiet time.
  We need to be mindful that we are in a small valley and there
  are residents at the top of the hills. Sound is known to
  carry upwards here.
• This is a public park. If you chose to imbibe, you MUST
  be discreet and are doing so at your own risk.
