It’s groundbreaking season for the South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District.
This Friday, Aug. 29, a project that’s been in the works for years will finally begin. The groundbreaking ceremony for the South Whidbey Aquatic Recreation Center is slated for 1 p.m. at the site of the future facility, located at 5495 Maxwelton Road.
South Whidbey Parks and Rec also celebrated the groundbreaking for six new outdoor pickleball courts last week. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned, likely for the first week of October, Executive Director Brian Tomisser said.
