The sports community in Butuan is active as evidenced by the sweaty and endorphin- filled atmosphere of Butuan City Sports complex last Saturday afternoon. Mostly young athletes (high school and college) were playing different sports like volleyball, softball, football (soccer) and frisbee. Different age groups ranging from elementary-age kids up to middle aged adults, were jogging or walking around the gravel (?) oval track field. There were even a couple of dog owners walking their dogs around the area. The place was bustling!

The sunset from the perspective of the Sports complex was admittedly beautiful. Unfortunately, the place itself isn't as pretty. Trash were everywhere (If you are planning on doing a clean- up drive, count me in!), the grasses aren't well maintained, and the oval track is still in its natural soil condition.

I was googling on the proper name of the Butuan City Sports Complex and the name of the asphalt like material for the oval track and I happened to see this article of how our Mayor Amante is planning on improving the state of our Sports Complex:

BUTUAN SET TO IMPROVE SPORTS COMPLEX

It's already 2012 while waiting for this project to come true, why don't we do our part by not throwing our litter everywhere and, even better, do a clean up drive oh young sportsmen/ and women of Butuan?
