A Tail Waggin’ Good Time: A Guide to Pet Friendly Hot Spots in Maple Ridge, BC
Furry friends are an extension of our family! Okay, who are we kidding? They are family! We want to have adventures with them and take them to all our favorite local places. Let’s be real, it’s not easy to take them everywhere with us. Mini Mall Storage loves our four-legged friends just as much as the next person and that’s why we put together the best locations in Maple Ridge to bring your pet. Don’t worry about getting any puppy eyes, it’s only tail waggin’ good times from here!
Treats for Both
Don’t leave your pet behind while you grab a bite to eat, bring them with! We have sought out the most delicious restaurants that not only will make your taste buds explode with delight, but you get to do it with your pup! Dog friendly AND delicious? What more could you ask for!?
Humble Roots Cafe & Deli
Hot drinks and mouthwatering food? Say no more. From their wholesome and humble “Canuck Breakfast Sandwich” to leafy green salads and bowls like the “Root’s Revival Bowl.” This local, small business is a true treasure and a favorite in Maple Ridge.
Paliotti’s Westside
Located on the west side of Maple Ridge, you will find Paliotti’s. Featuring upscale appetizers like their gamberetti, tried and true pizzas (you’ll be dreaming of the pierogi pizza), and entrees that will have you coming back to try them all. Looking for something vegan? Paliotti’s has a menu dedicated to vegan and vegetarian foods.
The Patch Brewery
We love a good origin story, that’s the best part of any good comic book, right? The same goes for local businesses! The Patch Brewery is special because it is owned by local farmers who have hand crafted their beer from their own harvested barley. Not to mention the ingredients for their pizza are grown in their garden — yum! Cool off with their Hay Loft blonde ale or their Sour Patch sour ale. Pets are ALWAYS welcome since the brewery is located on a large piece of land across from Laity Pumpkin Patch.
Adventure Awaits!
Day trips, overnight stays, and everything in between, you don’t have to leave your dog at home when it comes to these adventurous trips!
Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge
You will find Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge in North Vancouver, the perfect day location where both you and your dog will be dog tired when you get home. With 617 acres of forest to explore, along with the suspension bridge where you can overcome your fear of heights, this is a must-stop with your furry friend.
Hell’s Gate Airtram
There is so much to do, you will need a whole day to tackle it all! Don’t worry about leaving your furry companion behind, you can bring your pets to Hell’s Gate Airtram! Gold panning, views, gift shops, and so much more. You won’t struggle to fill up your time here. You can find the airtram in Boston Bar off the Trans-Canada Hwy.
Vancouver Scavenger Hunt: Red Bricks and Gold Dragons
The best way to discover Vancouver is obviously through a scavenger hunt (c’mon, you know it’s fun!). You will start in Gastown and hit popular locations like BC Place, Beatty Street Drill Hall, Victory Square, and Queen Elizabeth Theatre. Everything is guided by your phone, and all outdoors, so no need to leave your pup behind!
Friends, Fetch, and Frisbees
Not up for a big adventure, but still want to get out with your pup? We get it! We have put together three of our favorite dog parks in Maple Ridge to burn off the energy.
Westview Park Off-leash Area
What we love about this park is that you can kill a few birds with one-stone. There is a playground for your kids, an off-leash area for your pup, and don’t get us started on the stunning walking trails. This is your dream destination if you’re more of a solo walker, or if your dog thrives on having its own space.
Jerry Sulina Park
Does your dog love water? Jerry Sulina Park is the place to go! This off-leash area has a large pond for them to frolic in. You may want to bring a towel, as things will get messy. Sit back and relax or throw a ball — the options are open for you.
Derby Reach Regional Park
This scenic walk along the Fraser River has an off-leash area that is guaranteed to get you a lot of puppy kisses! Whether your dog needs some space from other furry pals, or is ready to run wild with them, there are options for every dog and person.
Run Wild with Your Best Friend
