Financing for this project which is  part of the New Amsterdam town enhancement programme has been made available by the Ministry of Social Cohesion, the Department of Public Information (DPI) said yesterday.

Thus far, extensive  removal of bush has been completed and the perimeter drains  dug. The facility is to be fenced and an arch constructed, DPI added. Among other work earmarked to be done is the fencing of the inner field of the facility, installation of 25 LED lights around the perimeter, construction of ten benabs, two kissing bridges, and a walkway among other improvements.
