Sports Park Upgrade

Once our new fields were complete, the Drakenstein Municipality called us in to talk. They had received money for a new Paarl East Community Center and our site was selected as the best location for it. We decided to give them back the southeast corner of our property for this purpose. This past week, earth movers came in and the construction has already started!
For those of you who don't know the history of the MCM Sports Park, this field was a neglected waste area that only gangs and drug abusers used. It took us 3 long years to talk the Municipality into a 20 year lease for the purpose of rebuilding it into a top quality sports park. We now have 3 sports fields, a changing room and offices along with the first section of great-looking viewing stands. We're currently working to design the next phase! Now we'll have a brand new community center with us as well... things have certainly improved.
