“We want to make sure that we have these facilities are available for the youth,” Palacios said, adding that some outdoor basketball courts have been neglected for years hence they have not been used for a long time.
Palacios, Covenant-Saipan, said they have finished installing basketball boards, rings and nets in Susupe, As Matuis, San Roque, Tanapag, and Capital Hill.
The As Matuis outdoor basketball court has been installed with two backboards, with its court repainted, and fence and court lighting fixtures repaired.
The Tanapag play court received one new backboard, and a net. The court’s other backboard has been repainted.
The San Roque outdoor court has been installed with two nets, and its backboards have been repainted together with the play court.
Palacios said they area currently painting the play court in Koblerville, and will be installing two new nets for its existing rings.
The congressman mentioned that after they are finished with their Koblerville project, they will focus on the outdoor basketball court in district 4.
Earlier, the outdoor basketball court in Susupe, District 5, had received backboards, rings and nets.
Palacios said these projects that he is pursuing are in line with his campaign to clean up the community by replacing dilapidated public sports facilities.
