The City of Prince George has received an award for the Jumpstart Inclusive Multi Sport Court.
The City received the BC Recreation and Parks Association’s (BCRPA) Facility Excellence Award for capital project under $3 million.
The award recognizes outstanding facility design that reflects community culture, is innovative in addressing community needs, is accessible to all patrons, serves as a community gathering hub, incorporates green design elements to reduce or eliminate negative impacts on the environment, and ultimately enhances the well-being of the community.
“This centrally located sports hub gives users of all ages a natural, safe space for gathering that supports participation by everyone in the community,” said BCRPA CEO Katie Fenn.
“It is a great example of bringing multi-generations together to stay active.”
The court opened at the end of August, and features basketball, tennis, and pickleball courts.
