CARNDUFF — The residents of Carnduff are just weeks away from being able to enjoy a new sports facility that they’ve been eagerly awaiting.
Three to four years ago, the Carnduff Rec board, led by their rec director, Jodie Wall, began applying for grants to build a concrete pad that would be home to pickleball, tennis and basketball. As money came in, the pad was poured. Over the past few weeks, Cord’s Park Mark Ltd, a Winnipeg company, has been painting the surface and marking the lines.
Within the next few weeks, fencing, portable tennis/pickleball nets and basketball nets will be arriving. Landscaping will be done to eliminate the sharp drop-offs where the concrete ends…and then the fun will begin as players will be able to use the court to play the various games free of charge.
Wall is anticipating that this new facility will get plenty of use. She is hoping that players will be able to ‘raise a racquet’ sometime this fall.
