The new development is nearing completion and provides new facilities and improvements to the existing Club facilities. This will be a benefit to the club and all members of the community in the years to come. The new facilities will be open to everyone and include a Running/Walking track with lighting, Covered spectator stand, Gymnasium and Handball/Racquetball Court
Most of the new facilities are now in use and will be open to everyone in the community.
