WHY EVERYONE NEEDS TO PLAY How to Play and Be Active in Princeton • Tie up your skates for weekend fun at the Arena! • Play some hoops at Riverside Community Centre. • Walk, bike or run the lit and paved KVR from Weyerhaeuser across the Bridge of Dreams to the Tunnel. • Try out the playground work out equipment at Vermilion Forks Elementary School. • Put on your helmet and try out the Princeton Bike Park at the Arena. • Try your long board at the Skate Board Park. • Sign up for one of the many active clubs available in Princeton to all ages. • Take a hike or bike on China Ridge Trails before the snow flies then slap on your cross country skis or snow shoes. • Play with children at the playground in Rotary Park. • Register for a Fall Recreation and Cultural Program found in this Guide.

Why Everyone Needs to Play Families that play together stay together. Being physically active helps everyone have a full and meaningful life. Recreation and fitness activities build self esteem, positive self image and develop personal skills. Recreational opportunities reduce alienation, loneliness, and anti-social behavior. Everyone deserves the chance to have fun!

Call one of our knowledgeable agents to view the variety of homes and properties available in the Princeton area: your one stop outdoor recreational paradise for Horseback Riding, Snowmobiling, Hiking, Cross Country Skiing, Fishing, Hunting and more!
