The City of Prince George is inviting residents to provide input on the future development of Chancellor Park, located in University Heights.
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.”
This initiative aligns with the City’s 2017 Park Strategy, which assessed neighborhood park provisions and provided direction on park investment and development.
Following the feedback period and budget approval process, detailed design and site regulatory approvals are expected to occur in the first half of 2025, with construction targeted for the summer of 2025.
