Marshfield Youth Basketball (www.marshfieldyouthbasketball.com) has generously provided a donation to the Peter Igo Park Initiative (www.peterigo.com). Led by The Marshfield Tennis Club, a group of Marshfield residents have undertaken the initiative to raise funds from public and private sectors to completely renovate the park.

Kids of all ages can skate on a safe surface this winter thanks to The Marshfield Tennis Club and Game On Sports who reinstalled the ice rink at the park this year. A new liner was purchased this year as vandalism destroyed the original liner last year. The ice rink is just part of volunteer efforts to improve the town-owned property, which provides a recreational area for the Brant Rock/Green Harbor section of town.
