Prince George, B.C.- The City of Prince George will be getting up to $100 thousand dollars to develop a Seniors Community Park.
The actual site for the park has not yet been decided, and the full cost of the park has not been finalized, but the Province has announced the City will be getting some funding.
The dollars are part of a $1.8 million dollar commitment from the Province for the ActNow BC Seniors Community Park fund which will distribute the money to 18 communities throughout B.C.
The Seniors Community Park will provide specialized outdoor recreational equipment and activities designed to improve mobility, coordination and balance, as well as opportunities for social interaction - a critical healthy living component for older people.
The City is expected to provide the land, site preparation, ongoing maintenance and program delivery for the park which is to be installed by the spring of 2009.
