Along with Surf City officials, town recreation leader Chad Merritt has a vision of seeing community members and families enjoy a new development with attractions such as a skate park, sand volleyball court and much more.
“For us, this is a wow factor project,” Merritt said about the future Earl G. & Inez Batts Recreation Complex, which is also expected to attract visitors from Wilmington, Jacksonville, and beyond the area. It s one of those that will bring people from all over.
After buying land last July from the Batts Family Corporation, officials are making progress towards the goal. The corporation was created by the late Earl G. Batts and wife, Inez S. Batts, in the 1970s. The vacant space is next to the Surf City Community Center and Athletic Complex at 201 Community Drive.
