Hello!

As the crisp air of fall settles in, it's the perfect time to explore the wide range of indoor and outdoor activities our city has to offer. Just because the heat of summer is coming to an end, doesn’t mean you can’t stay active!

Alongside our Community Association programs detailed below, are a broad selection of activities offered by local nonprofit organizations, as well as more information about  arenas, recreation, and parks in Prince George.

The City of Prince George Community Association Recreation Guide is now available online through the link below and showcases all programs being offered in one place and is filled with activities and programs suitable for all ages.
