Work is starting this week on the removal of the playground equipment at Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park (LTMP), ready to make way for a new play structure.
The early-stage work is scheduled before the ground freezes to ensure the site is ready for construction in the spring according to the City of Prince George.
The playground area will be fenced off. In the coming weeks, the holes from the existing equipment will be filled, and ground-penetrating radar work will take place.
The current playground, installed in 2000, no longer meets modern safety standards.
In April 2024, City staff launched phase one of the LTMP Playground Renewal Project including a new design.
The new playground design, discussed at the October 7th Prince George City Council meeting and shared with the public, is scheduled for completion by autumn 2025.
