Recreational facilities
Recreational facilities are high on the agenda of the Island Council, especially the creating of a public swimming pool annex recreational park. The Juliana Sports Field and the Johan Cruijff Court in The Bottom are already improved, while plans are made to upgrade the playground in St. John’s, the Wilhelmina Park, the kitchen facility at the Juliana Sports Field, and a further upgrade of the Cruijff Field. Budget proposals are being drafted for these plans. A project team has made the first plan for a public swimming pool annex recreational park. The idea is to create this at Cove Bay by upgrading the building, expanding the playground, add new facilities to the area and build a saltwater pool which needs a lot less maintenance than a regular swimming pool.
