Strathroy is getting three beach volleyball courts at the Fairgrounds Recreation Complex thanks to a donation from the Damen Group and Gary Falconer Limited.
Together the two groups are donating $65,000 to the project which will cost $85,000. Rob Lilbourne, Director of Community Services for Strathroy-Caradoc says the other $20,000 is coming from the Progress Through Partnership Funds.
Lilbourne added that since the pandemic has taught us that when it comes to activities, the outside is good and the inside is bad, the municipality is working on projects that will promote this idea, and give people in the community a place to get outside, get active, and stay safe.
The courts will be located between Sleepy Hollow Railroad and the tennis courts. The plan is to have them done by late fall.
