After being closed for a bit, the Paseo de Susana Basketball Court reopened renovated and beautified.

Lt. Gov. Josh Tenorio leads the Islandwide Beatification Task Force, which has the Islandwide Parks and Recreational Facilities Renovations projects under its belt, funded by the Department of Interior. Tenorio, the Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero were on hand with Crowns Guam and Paradise Fitness for the reopening of the popular central basketball court, which now adorned with a floral mural.

As part of their adoption commitment, Crowns Guam and Paradise Fitness commissioned local artist Lee San Nicolas to paint a mural on the basketball court. The project took a week to complete and features a mural consisting of floral art with vibrant colors, representing the company’s brand of island pride mixed with street culture.

“We want to thank the community for being patient with us through the process. This is the first one, but we’re looking forward to doing more community projects. We want to give back to Hagåtña and it only makes sense to start in our island’s capital. We want to start one village at a time. This is a new chapter for us at Crowns,” said Randy Alcantara, owner of Crowns Guam.

The local business plans to adopt more parks and hold other community events for the island’s youth including a street ball tournament next month.

“We know that sports have the unique ability to inspire and unite people from all backgrounds, and adopting this basketball court helps inject excitement and enthusiasm in our community. Our entire team from the Islandwide Beautification Task Force thanks Crowns Guam and Paradise Fitness for investing in our community. We will continue to provide our support and encourage all of our community partners to join our Parks Adoption Program,” the lieutenant governor said.
