The sport court at Southridge Park in College Heights will get a new look this summer thanks to grant funding from the Canada Community-Building Fund.
According to the City of Prince George, the boards surrounding the rink will be removed in July to make way for a new multi-sport court.
The hard surface will be transformed into a tennis court, four pickleball courts, and a basketball court. In the winter, the surface will be available for ice sports.
The total cost of the project is $220,500.
Southridge Park has served the community for more than 20 years.
The boards surrounding the rink have reached the end of their service life and will be removed and replaced with fencing.
The park is expected to open to the public in the fall.
This work follows improvements last summer, when the City opened a new dog park adjacent to the rink at a cost of $75,000.
