There are 4 benches, 2 picnic tables with 8 picnic seats that need the old splintered wood replaced with recycled plastic lumber at the Westfield, NJ, YMCA. The picnic tables, picnic seats and benches are located in the children's playground area. There is a sign outside the YMCA that I will be encircling with stones and filling in the circle with plants. There an entrance walkway that needs new shrubs planted on both sides. I will be doing the replacement of the rooted wood, stone work and landscaping shrub work so I can complete my Eagle Project. Only 2% of all scouts become Eagle Scouts.

I live in rural North Carolina and also play high school tennis. Our school provides tennis courts for practice and our matches but has no money available for upkeep or beautification of the general area surrounding the courts. If awarded a grant, I would use the money to beautify the grounds outside the tennis courts and hopefully establish a permantant refreshment stand area to be used by both players and supporters. Our tennis courts are used by the schools and also by our community. An ungrade would be a welcomed improvement, one I hope to provide.
