Big changes are coming to beach volleyball 🏐 in McDonald Sports Park!😀
A group of volleyball enthusiasts from Fall River are in the process of upgrading the court from a single to a double, turning the whole works sideways, and adding lots of new sand. Work on the project began today and will continue through the week with a planned opening date to be announced in May.
We’ll keep you posted on the progress.

🎉 New Course Record 🎉
Massive congratulations to Joe Stewart who put on a amazing performance at yesterday’s Pick & Shovel Showdown. Running 15 laps (88.4KM) in 7:58:13 seconds, all while it was -16°c out 👏 👏
When Jason and I saw the weather we thought the record was safe but Joe had other plans. Joe will receive a $500 gift card to and we could not be happy to hand it over. What a show 👏

Well folks it's that time of the year again and the gate is now locked for the winter ahead of the expected rain & snow this week. Please respect the no parking signs and keep the gate clear to allow for turning and emergency vehicle access.
It was a great year for the park, lots of work, events, and celebrations were had. See you all in the spring!
