Did You Hear About the New Sand Courts?

Williiston School

Behind the Middle School, Williston Parks and Rec. will be adding two more sand courts, making a total of four! If all goes well the Colchester Thursday Night Sand Quads League (all full with a waiting list) will be moving there in July, so everyone can all play at the same location.
