An all weather field in PG is WAY overdue!

Really?

An all weather field?

You guys play outside in the snow?

Another dog park. Can you believe it. If People want dogs look after them in your own yard and walk them on the street on a leach. Our family had dogs for years we walked them and cleaned up after them. No big deal.

The City needs to do some work on the designated parks through out the city that are just wild areas and collect junk. A place for the neighbour hood kids to socialize and get away from their Iphones and the internet.

The dog parks that we do have are nothing but a barn yard for dogs to crap in. NO MORE DOG PARKS.

Retired, unfortunately there are people living in basement suites and apartment complex's that needs space for the dogs to run.

Good job, I think it is going to be a good downtown park, Start planting trees now.

I think this is a good idea and would enhance the area.I would hope that if a dog park is involved that people would pick up after there dog to keep it clean for all users.I own a dog and if I see him crap,I pick it up!I had a friend/fellow dog walker once ask me, at one of the current dog walking areas,why I picked up my dogs crap when no one else did?I said"I did not enjoy stepping in the stuff myself,so why would anyone else and I didn't want to add to what was already a problem"!Their was just silence after my response.

yep, i think what would be a good idea is a video camera set up at the park, to identify the non poop picker upper people. Once this is done, it will take care of the lazy dog owners. Make it a $200 fine.

Let me tell you a story about a woman that let her dog poop on my lawn and not pick it up.

Why not put a regular field in at Duchess and make Maisch place into an all weather field? Maisch has the seating capacity that Duchess would not have.

HabsFan, I think it was a deal, in which the School District gives the land to the city, the city builds and maintains a field for the new highschool.

In the mean time the city gives up a park by the hospital so that the Cancer Lodge can be built.

Its what makes our world go around.

If Prince George survives, and becomes a city of 200,000 people in fifty years. Imagine the value of having a park like that so close to downtown. Imagine the rebuilds done in the neighbourhood homes.

Think forward on the possibilities of green space. Thanks to the good strong minds at our school district, we have a lot of green space.

If one lives in a basement suite or apartment, please do not be so selfish as to having any creature for which you do not have the space.

It is abominable IMO, when people insist they have the right to have any pet of any size in too small a living quarters. Yes, you have the right, what you do not have is good sense of treating animals respectfully by providing for their real physical needs. Dogs need to run freely all day. Sure, some apartment/basementsuite pet owners do provide a couple of walks per day, but the reality is that most do not.

Rabbits are far better for small residences. They can be litter trained and are very clean once that is trained. Even a cat (1 or 2 only) would be acceptable. Most of the dogs I see in the city have far too little free run. I have seen great dane sized dogs and many shepard size living in 1 or 2 bedroom apartments. That is plain cruel to the animal and hardly fair for the neighbors. This is no better than the dog owner that ties the animal out 24/7 and pays little attention.

Looks great!

He Spoke. The Airport used to be located along Highway 16 from approx the Tennis Courts to Range Road.

When the Airport moved to its present location the property was given to the City for recreational use in perpetuity.

You will now note that the City has sold all this land to commercial developers.

So dont expect that the City is doing any long range planning on the Duchess Park property. At the first opportunity to sell this land for commercial use, they will dump it.

Loki, your right on the money.

He Spoke, I understand and fully agree that Duchess needs a field. I think that it is a bit of overkill for one high school to have that type of field, though. Put in a regular field (whatever that is?) and put the all weather field in Maisch, then hold the high school tournaments/finals for soccer and football there - lots of seating for the school's fans.
