Work will start next week on a $600 000 state-of-the art pavilion and multi-purpose sporting facility at The Glebe, St George.
The long-time promise of a modern sports building and resource centre in the community is set to become a reality as construction of the 24-week project will begin on Monday.
This was revealed yesterday by Minister of Youth, Sports and Community Empowerment Dwight Sutherland during a ground-breaking ceremony.
“The work which will be conducted here represents a continuation of efforts to not only complete the pavilion but also to generally enhance the facilities for sporting activities.

Twin brothers Daniel and Darius Joseph will leave the island today to take up a term’s cricket stint at the renowned King’s Bruton School in Somerset, England.
The St Michael School pair was invited to the English institution last year but had to defer the trip because of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent travel restrictions in the United Kingdom.
The 14-year-olds will represent the school in cricket along with fulfilling their academic duties for the next term.

The Barbados Football Association (BFA) is hoping to make some important infrastructure adjustments ahead of a full restart of activity.
While the artificial surface at Wildey has not been significantly impacted by the recent ash fall caused by the eruption of the La Soufriere volcano in neighbouring St Vincent and the Grenadines, president Randy Harris told Weekend Sport the association was keen on replacing the surface by the end of this year.

The unsatisfactory condition of the National Stadium track has forced the Athletics Association of Barbados (AAB) to stage the first three meets of the new track and field season at the Usain Bolt Sports Complex.
Last month, officials at the AAB announced April 24 as the start date for the 2021 athletics season with the Back On Track 1 event, but at the time, venues were yet to be determined.
