$22m sports facility for Princes Town

By Gail Alexander

Government is converting the Yolande Pompey recreation ground in Princes Town into a sub-regional facility in a $22 million project, says Sports Minister Roger Boynes.

It will involve a football field, tracks, bleachers and facilities for 600 people, two hard surface courts and other amenities.

Boynes, speaking at yesterday’s post-Cabinet news briefing, said the ground had undergone a piecemeal approach in the last 13 years which had not pleased the Government, regional corporation or stakeholders of the area.

After a study, it was categorised as a sub-regional ground.

It was felt by Government that “now is the time” to get the Sports Company to complete the facility, Boynes added.

He said the area was very important since a lot of well-known sports people hailed from the district.

The facility would be completed in the last quarter of 2007.
