Basketball Court Update
Alhamdullilah - the cranks on the hoops and backboards have recently been repaired. To prevent any further damage - the courts will now only be open when there is supervision. The supervisor will take responsibility for ensuring there is not damage or misconduct while the court is open. Any community member is welcome to help become a court manager and expand our open hours further. Message [email protected] and [email protected] if interested.
