The newly renovated Garvey Park and a multi-purpose hall in Tavua has been opened by Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama.
While opening the two facilities, Bainimarama stresses that with an investment of close to half a million dollars the government has invested in better floodlights for the park, the perimeter fence and the Pavilion, which makes it safer at night.
The basic hall in this Park will be used for holding indoor sporting events, meetings and other functions.
The Prime Minister says Tavua has a rich athletic community and has the potential to continue developing first-class athletes and strong district teams.
He adds that these facilities are also for Fijians who do not want to compete seriously, who simply want to stay fit and enjoy sports and other activities with friends.
Garvey Park was badly damaged by the Tropical Cyclone Winston last year and required a major upgrade.
