If you missed our Fall post about big projects this year, we have been up to a lot. At this point everything above the Middler Cabins is history! All 3 old courts, the old Middler Egypt bath house, the fencing, cement walls, etc… are gone.

After all of it was removed the crew then actually scraped down about 3 feet of earth to give the whole area a somewhat bigger footprint to build on.

Now with winter having given way, we are moving towards putting the finishes on the new & improved peninsula:

There are 2 brand new tennis courts, side by side about where the 2 most used ones

were.

Then there is a 1/2 basketball court in the area where the “Lego court” used to be.

And lastly Middler Egypt is being replaced by a new, larger, more modern one very similar to the one added to Senior Hill a few years ago.

Then of course new fencing, walkways, etc… will go in at the end.

Be sure to come see them this summer!
