In a recent government meeting, officials announced plans to enhance recreational facilities at the L&J Recreation Center. The North State Resurfacing group from Zebulon, North Carolina, has been contracted to undertake significant repairs, which include resurfacing the existing basketball court and three tennis courts.

In a strategic move to better serve community interests, the tennis courts, which have seen limited use, will be converted into four pickleball courts. This decision reflects a growing trend in recreational preferences, as pickleball continues to gain popularity among various age groups. The upgrades aim to improve the overall quality of outdoor sports facilities and encourage greater community engagement in physical activities.
