There's some exciting news for Trundle as work gets underway to restore and upgrade the Berryman Oval tennis courts.

Just over $636,000 is going into the job, coming out of the NSW Government’s Community Asset Program for flood repairs.

It's all part of a bigger task by Parkes Shire Council who is restoring community assets that were impacted by the November 2022 floods.

Construction kicked off in early September with sub-soil drainage, base preparation and installation of conduits for future lighting.

Local contractors are working alongside council on upgraded fencing, concreting and base works, with completion expected by December, weather permitting - just in time for Christmas!

The upgrades include a new artificial grass playing surface, line marking on three courts including one multi-sport court, and new hoops, nets, and umpire boxes.

The project will also involve upgrades to the Berryman Oval carpark, pool pump and shed, which are scheduled for after the summer months to avoid disruption to community use.

The work follows recent improvements to the cricket nets and skatepark, completing the transformation of the Berryman Oval complex into a first-class community sporting hub, council says.
