Leaders in Newtown have approved plans for a new basketball court at the Fairfield Hills campus, funded by a 100 thousand dollar donation. The fenced-in asphalt court will be built next to the Community Center playground and used primarily for childcare programs, while also being open to the public during off hours. Officials say no additional parking or lighting will be added, and the court will close at dusk like the nearby playground. The project is part of the town’s long-term plan to transform the former hospital grounds into a hub for recreation and community use.
