Governor Felix P. Camacho will break ground on the Northern Sports Complex Recreation Pool and Fitness Trail tomorrow, Feb. 4, 2010 at 10am, at the Northern Sports complex in Dededo. Construction will begin in conjunction with the ongoing construction of four baseball fields.
“Building a new pool facility, a fitness trail, along with four baseball parks, will compliment the existing gymnasium and soccer fields in the area. This will be Guam’s first centralized sports complex where all sports can be played. It is an investment in our youth, an investment in a healthier community, and in line with my Lt. Governor’s Healthy Guam Initiative,” Governor Camacho said. “I’d like to commend the dedicated employees at the Department of Parks and Recreation and GHURA, for their hard work in bringing this positive project to life.”
The $5 million project was made possible via multiple grants applied for by the Department of Parks and Recreation through the National Park Service Land Water Conservation Fund, the GHURA Community Develop Block Grant, and the Department of Interior’s Compact Impact Grant.
“Once completed at the end of the year, a community sports complex featuring the swimming pool, fitness trail, baseball fields, soccer fields, and gymnasium facilities will bring to fruition a dream that was discussed in 1970’s,” DPR Director Joe Duenas said.
