Director of Sport (DoS) Christopher Jones says that upgrades to the National Gymnasium and the California Square tarmacs were about 80 percent completed.

In a Stabroek Sport exclusive, Jones said: “Essentially as it relates to works at the National Gymnasium, we are about 80 percent completed,” while adding that as it relates to California Square, they are in the procurement stage.

According to the DoS, the laying of the turf and the fencing is on course with just the painting and lighting fixtures to be implemented.
