Recreation North Activities
Recreation North is designed to fill vacant time slots when user groups are not booked in the gyms or fields.
NOTICE: As of 11:00pm, Monday, March 16, 2020, the Charles Jago Northern Sport Centre will be closed until further notice.
The Northern Sport Centre Ltd. Board of Directors (a partnership between the City of Prince George and UNBC) decided it is in the public interest to close the facility. This is based on the nature of activities that take place there. It also promotes social distancing in response to Covid-19. This decision aligns with the closure of a number of other recreational facilities in Prince George.
Come out and play - free for members and $6.12 (+ tax) for non-members!
We are a busy, multi-sport and fitness facility. Priority bookings for the fieldhouse and three gymnasiums are reserved for local sports organizations.
Space availability is subject to community bookings. Availability is updated via notices posted inthe facility, the website, and on social media.

- The facilities are shared by members and user groups. Be respectful and courteous as per the rules outlined in the NSC Code of Conduct.
- Outdoor shoes are not permitted in the fieldhouse or gyms.
- We are a user-paid facility. If you are not a member, the drop-in fee must be paid.
