Other interior improvements include; <br />new LED lighting throughout, ADA restrooms, <br />warming kitchen. Outdoor improvements include; <br />new landscape-hardscape, large outdoor multi- <br />purpose gathering area with basketball court and <br />volleyball court stripping, and shaded picnic-BBQ <br />area.
