Construction has begun on 12 new beach volleyball courts, near the all-weather fields on Commodore Drive in Burnside, reports Halifaxnewsnet.ca.
Still in the early stages of construction, the court area is being levelled out before sand – which was saved from last year’s beach volleyball junior world championships on the Halifax waterfront – will be added.
“The sand has been piled in the parking lot at the back of the all-weather field all winter,” said Michelle Aucoin, executive director with Volleyball Nova Scotia.
With construction expected to wrap up mid- to end of May, Aucoin said registration for programs should begin in early May.
