Ongar Town Council has been awarded a £2,000 grant following the completion of refurbishment to a former sports club.
The Jubilee Park Pavilion in Love Lane, Ongar, formally known as the Ongar Social and Sports Club, unveiled the improved seating areas and dance floor at the town's annual general meeting last night.
The club, which was taken over by the council on February 10, also introduced a new pool table, sky sports and a new kitchen.
Following the meeting it was announced that the Essex Cricket Community Trust had donated £2,000 to the club.
The funds are set to go towards the cost of improving the cricket square at the Jubilee Park.
Ongar Town Council chairman Diana Roberts said: “We are delighted to receive this grant funding.
"It will enable us to start work on improving the playing surfaces at Love Lane."
