Verdon Street Recreation Centre has been transformed by a refurbishment which makes it brighter and better.

The new carpet and chairs "definitely brighten the place up!" comments Verdon Rec’s worker, Aislinn Adams. The new noticeboards will soon be filled with information from groups such as Pilsung Taekwondo and PITS Street Dance.

The function room now has a mirrored wall, which is perfect for dance classes, with a curtain and blinds to ensure privacy. After your exercise class, you can sit down on the colourful seats and catch your breath in comfort! The room has been booked every week for social functions and meetings.

The sports hall has been re-painted and the floor sanded, so the football, badminton and volleyball can practise in high quality surroundings. Everyone who uses this building, from Parents and Toddlers to the Agewell Group, will benefit from the “fresh” feel to the place.
