BACKGROUND<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Extensive damage to AO Shirley Grounds not only interrupted training for local
athletes but also rendered the Virgin Islands unable to host national and international competitions. In addition to the destruction of the pavilion, lights and bathrooms and damage to the grandstand and the track, the perimeter wall was destroyed. This meant that there was no means of restricting entry during competitions and thus for sports associations to generate revenue from ticket sales.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Activity<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The grounds have been prepared and a new track installed enabling training and sporting events to resume. Floodlights are in the process of being procured which will allow use of the grounds to continue after dark. After evaluating various options, the Ministry and RDA have elected to reconstruct the perimeter wall from recycled plastic, being both a more economical solution and a valuable example of how recycled materials can be used. Reconstruction of the bathrooms is underway and planning for the repairs to the grandstand, lights and pavilion is underway.<\/p>\n

Results<\/strong><\/p>\n

Restoration of the Virgin Islands national sports ground is well underway and the facility is once again fit for practice and training purposes for local athletes. Completion of repairs will provide all 28,000 Virgin Islands residents with a national athletics ground that meets international accreditation standards and can host regional and international events. The grounds will also meet the sports and events needs of children from neighbouring schools of Elmore Stoutt High School and Althea Scatliffe Primary School.<\/p>\n

The AO Shirley athletics grounds is a priority project to renovate the grounds to meet international accreditation standards as a Level 2 ground, so that BVI can host upcoming national events later this year and future international events. This requires preparation of the grounds prior to the installation of the new track by the specialist company Mondo, repairs to make the perimeter secure to boost income-generation from events, installation of bathroom facilities, installation of lights to allow events after dark, repair to the spectator stand (ideally with shade), and renovation of the clubhouse pavilion to provide meetings, events and changing facilities. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1333,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[50,49],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3084","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education-projects","category-projects"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bvirecovery.vg\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bvirecovery.vg\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bvirecovery.vg\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bvirecovery.vg\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bvirecovery.vg\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3084"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"https:\/\/bvirecovery.vg\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3084\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4720,"href":"https:\/\/bvirecovery.vg\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3084\/revisions\/4720"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bvirecovery.vg\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1333"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bvirecovery.vg\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bvirecovery.vg\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bvirecovery.vg\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
