Fundraising Goal Achieved at $86,520!
Plans are underway for a new expanded high school size basketball court within the Boulder Junction Community Sports & Recreation Area! Removal of the current ½ court facility has been removed and the installation of a full size high school court in the same location has been completed. The bleachers, benches, new baskets and new surface in the same location will happen in the spring or early summer of 2025 due to weather changes!
The current location accommodated the expansion to a high school court (84X50), required only the removal of 2 large and some smaller trees. There are no physical or environmental barriers to expanding the basketball court. The estimated cost of the High School Court Expansion Project about $75,000.00. The Fundraising target has been set at $84,000.00 due to offering 2 more community memorial benches.
Update 11/19/2024: Our fundraising goal was achieved late September and construction began around that time. The old basketball court surface and baskets have been removed and the new surface has been laid by Pitlick & Wick. The basketball poles and baskets also arrived and will be installed in the spring when weather permits. Benches and bricks will be ordered soon. If you are interested in a brick, please contact Laura Bertch asap to be included in the order for this surface.
