2018 Ball Diamond and Sport Field Strategy
Developing a ball diamond and sport field strategy involved performing a detailed inventory of the City of Prince George's ball diamonds and sport fields and evaluating how they are being used. The City connected with local sport groups and key stakeholders for feedback and analysed existing facilities, use, operations, maintenance, partnership agreements, as well as tournament hosting.
The resulting 2018 Ball Diamond and Sport Field Strategy provides a starting point to begin a conversation with user groups to help the City set a direction for investing in the future of sport in Prince George.
