The Northeastern Multipurpose Sport Facility could be reopened as early as May 2024.

This timeframe was confirmed by officials from the Sports Company of T&T during a site visit last week.

Head of Projects Execution at SporTT, Leon Le Gendre, said ongoing works include repairing the structural integrity of the concrete base of the indoor courts, which will then be re-laid using high-quality hardwood flooring.

The pouring of the concrete sub-floor was completed earlier this week.

Speaking during the site visit was Sangre Grande MP Roger Monroe, who said “I am happy to see the ongoing work and as the representative for the area, I am strongly lobbying for the inclusion of court markings for badminton and volleyball, as well as lighting on the pristine outdoor pitch, which can be used for football.”

The facility was first opened in 2016, with basketball and netball courts and accommodation for 1,500 spectators.
