Diversion: Carrie Jane Grey Park

Along Massey Drive beside 20th Ave in Prince George you will find this hub of activity. The park was named after one of Prince George’s political figures from our early days. It contains several minor league ball parks and one major league park. It also has competition sized tennis courts, a competition area for pitching horse shoes, a BMX track & the "Family Y" (a fitness gym) sits in this area as well. One end of the Heritage trail runs south from the east end of the park. The whole area is mainly rough accessible, all sports venues can be rolled into easily enough (weather permitting, this is out door!)

Carrie Jane Gray holds the honour of being the first female mayor of Prince George. She was the mayor of Prince George in 1958 and 1959 and was the second female in B.C. to be elected mayor

Across Massey Drive You will spot a huge green area of Prince George on a south western slope. Prince George has won provincial awards for our urban areas coexisting with natural environments. Directly west of the green spaces, there is another professional sports arena. Next to that, the Rotary Roller Park for bikes, skateboards & roller-skates is always busy with youth practicing for competitions or having fun. A little further down along Massey towards the Pine Center Mall you will see Masich Place stadium where many grueling sports competitions and school sports practice are held to provide Prince George with athletic pride. It also a public walk area 5 days a week where you can "walk to your health” in a measured environment.
The area is beautiful, just look north as you enter town from the west as the speed limit slows to 50 kmh along Highway 16. It is within Rolling distance for people in Prince George and many exciting sports events happen here every year. It is almost all access-able as well, so if you enjoy live sporting events, please support Prince George and come cheer on your home teams!

The Citizen Sports arena hosts many events through the active spring summer and fall months and is in the south west corner of CJG park and, weather permitting, mostly accessible!
