Joseph Honour, 17, came to Memorial Peace Park on Saturday to ride his skateboard with friends and play Pokemon Go.
Then he saw the piano on the bandstand.
He sat down and started to play: Fur Elise, by Beethoven; River Flows in You, Yiruma; Wake Me Up When September Ends, Green Day.
The hand-painted piano was installed in the park in downtown Maple Ridge on Friday as part of the annual Pianos on the Street program.
It was painted at Vicuna Studio by artists with the Ridge Meadows Association of Community Living, with the help of artist in residence Robi Smith, and is one of 24 located in public spaces around Metro Vancouver.
It will remain in Memorial Peace Park throughout the summer, free for all to play.

She's a piano teacher.The Downtown Maple Ridge Business Association invites the public the come and play the piano, even for piano teachers to use it for lessons.
The piano will remain at the bandstand until mid-September, when it will be moved inside the Maple Ridge Public Library.
