The province has invested $650,000 to upgrade three outdoor recreational facilities in the town of Trenton.

The upgrades will include a new skateboard park, pickleball court and multisport court equipped with basketball and road hockey nets. These upgraded facilities will be located on the corner of Main Street, First Street and Duchess Avenue, down from the future home of the Pictou County Sports Heritage Hall of Fame.

The Scotia Park Ball Field on Strickland Avenue will also be assessed for necessary upgrades.

The funding for these upgrades is a one-time grant from the Department of Communities, Culture, Heritage and Tourism.

The work on these facilities is expected to be completed by fall 2024.
