Between the Recreation Centre and the pool there is an old “Tennis Court”. As the Rec Department we are uncertain as to what we should do with It. Option 1- Renovate it. Level the foundation, reside it, paint it and advertise it as open to the public in the summer months. Option 2- Completely rip it out, foundation and all. Reuse the fence and lumber to build a small community garden just back from the present location as to make the road wider and safer back there. Please either call us with your thoughts or reply to this email. Your Opinion counts.
