The old Nelson Park tennis courts are to be transformed into a vibrant, multi-purpose community space with government and local support.
Forbes Preschool has received $129,000 in ClubGrants funding to completely resurface the damaged courts – with a new concrete slab and Tiger Turf surface.
There are plans for tennis, netball and basketball markings, Preschool Director Amy Shine said, as well as repairs to the cricket net next door.
They’re also working on designs for a learn-to-ride bike path, hopscotch and handball.
The preschool’s vision is very much to give the space back to the community, Ms Shine said, especially as they have a front row seat to how popular the new Nelson Park playground next door is with families with younger children.
