Concord University to hold annual Day of Service

This project has been in the works for some time now and it is exciting to see it becoming a reality. Many individuals are leaving city limits to go and play on goals like these. Now we will have 12 new goals to play on, at 5 different community playgrounds. These basketball goals are going to be a huge upgrade for our parks. They will provide something new and exciting for the community to enjoy.

Amanda McCabe | Princeton Park and Recreation Director

Two new basketball goals will be installed at each playground, except for Knob Street’s playground where four basketball goals will be installed.
