Refurbished Basketball Court and Beautiful Mural

Jul 31, 2023

The spirit of community shines brighter than ever as The Salvation Army unveils its newly transformed outdoor court, adorned with a breathtaking mural by the talented 13-year-old artist, Mackenzie Kyles. The vibrant artwork captures the essence of our neighborhood and brings life and joy to this beloved space.

This extraordinary project was made possible by the extraordinary generosity and support of several individuals and organizations that have shown unwavering dedication to the betterment of our community. First and foremost, a resounding shoutout goes to TM Asphalt Sealing, LLC, whose incredible generosity allowed the court to be resurfaced and lined with precision, all without charging a single penny. Their selfless commitment to supporting our community has left us deeply touched and grateful. Southwest Michigan First, another key player in this transformation, deserves heartfelt gratitude for their constant and steadfast support throughout the project.  Their passion for fostering growth and creating opportunities for our community is genuinely commendable. We would also like to extend a special thank you to State Representative Julie Rogers. Who's support has meant the world to us and has undoubtedly played a significant role in the success of this endeavor.

The spirit of collaboration and community love is beautifully exemplified by this project. It is a testament to what can be achieved when talented individuals, generous businesses, and supportive leaders come together for a common goal. We warmly invite everyone to come and witness the newly refurbished court, be inspired by Mackenzie Kyles' incredible artwork, and create cherished memories together. This space is a symbol of unity, creativity, and the power of giving back to the community.

Let's celebrate the boundless talent of our local youth and the compassionate hearts of those who made this remarkable transformation possible.  As we move forward, let this be a reminder that when we work hand in hand, we can make dreams come true and create a brighter, more vibrant future for our community. So, let's continue to support and uplift one another, and watch as the spirit of generosity and collaboration continues to thrive in our beloved neighborhood. Together, we can make a lasting impact!
