City of PG asking for public feedback on future of University Heights park

Civic officials are inviting residents to provide input on the future development of Chancellor Park, located in University Heights.

According to the City of Prince George, the 17,000-square-metre parcel of land, situated between Chancellor Boulevard and Maurice Drive, has been scheduled for a potential upgrade in 2025.

Residents can have their say online by submitting suggestions online at https://getinvolved.princegeorge.ca/chancellor-park or they can email getinvolved@princegeorge.ca using the subject line ‘Chancellor Park’.

Feedback is open to all residents until July 31st.

The input collected will be reviewed by Parks staff to inform the capital project request, which will be presented to the council as part of the 2025 budget review.

“This park in University Heights has been on our radar for a long time, now we want to hear from the community what they would like to see there,” Mayor Simon Yu said.

“Whether it’s a playground, picnic tables, or walking trails, we want to gather input to guide the designs. Of course, all these enhancements will depend on the budget availability, but we are all very excited about this project.”

Following the feedback period and budget approval process, detailed design and site approvals are expected to occur in the first half of next year, with construction targeted for the following summer.
