Ten new curb drops will make local parks a little more accessible for residents with mobility challenges.

The City of Prince George has installed curb drops at three locations throughout the city, including:

  • Five at Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park: three along Taylor drive and two along 17th Avenue
  • Four at the Canada Games Plaza
  • One in Rainbow Park, along Stuart Drive

Curb drops make parks more accessible as they “drop” to a gentler incline, allowing easier access for people using mobility devices, or those who may otherwise have difficulty getting around.

More information, including the full release, can be found on the City’s Website.
