City still looking for feedback on potential dog park in College Heights

PRINCE GEORGE– There are currently 5 off-leash dog parks in Prince George. However, the City is looking to add another one to a community in PG. Gladstone Park is one of two locations the city has proposed for a potential off-leash dog park for the residents of College Heights. The other location proposed is Latrobe park. Something one resident of the area finds concerning.

Jacqueline Friesen moved to Prince George just over a year ago. Her family bought a house beside Latrobe park for her two kids. So when a survey by the city was released explaining they were looking at the Latrobe park area to put in a fenced off-leash dog park, It was something that she and her neighbors in the area weren’t happy about. She points out the lack of parking, the potential dog park going onto her backyard, and the kids in the area, all as potential reasons a dog park shouldn’t go in the area.

A survey was released after the City identified College Heights as in need of a dog park, but wants to let residents know nothing is set in stone yet, as they won’t go forward with anything without feedback from the residents of the area.
