Prince George investing $390,000 in playground improvements

PRINCE GEORGE — The City of Prince George is investing $390,000 in playground improvements at several parks across the community.

The funding includes $232,000 from the Canada Community-Building Fund, $58,000 from the General Infrastructure Reinvestment Fund and $100,000 from the B.C. Growing Communities Fund.

At Heather Park, the city has replaced the engineered wood fibre fall surface with a pour-in-place rubber surface, creating a fully accessible play area. Two additional pieces of playground equipment are also being added.

Repairs have been completed to the rubber fall surface at Duchess Park, while Stirling Park has received a new engineered wood fibre surface and wooden edging.
