Celebrations kick off at the new Southern Soccer Facility
To celebrate the completion of the new Southern Soccer Facility, the City of Marion, in conjunction with Cove Football Club, held an opening event on 30 April, showcasing everything the new facility had to offer.
The event attracted a crowd of local community members to participate in a fun-filled soccer activation.
