The proposed plan includes a new dedicated teenagers’ play space with MUGA (Multi Use Games Area) with a basketball hoop, infant and junior zoned areas which include loved and many new pieces of equipment, and a covered seating area. On the Rec, we plan to extend the sturdy pathway all the way around the recreation ground as well as install some donated pieces of adult exercise equipment.
