Carapichaima gets new ground
T&T Express Reports.
A spanking new pavilion is the centrepiece at the Korea Recreation Ground, Korea Village, Carapichaima.
Thanks to the Ministry of Sport’s implementation arm, the Sports Company of Trinidad and Tobago, the breezy ground in Central Trinidad can now accommodate spectators and community groups in a comfortable environment as they look out at the levelled and re-grassed outfield, suitable for cricket and football.
Anil Roberts, Minister of Sport, commended the work of SporTT saying, “The work to upgrade community facilities goes on at a steady rate.
“This ground in Korea is one that can be the catalyst for improved community sport organisation.
“This is all part of the Government’s efforts in all sectors to develop safe spaces where sporting talent can be nurtured and where critical family and community ties can be forged.”
The facility was handed over to the Couva/Tabaquite/Talparo Regional Corporation recently.
The Corporation will now be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the facility and outfield, and guide the villagers on how it can best be utilised to serve their needs.
Korea Recreation Ground is the latest in a series of handovers which the Ministry of Sport intends to conduct during the year.
