2. Safe & Multipurpose Areas: Spaces designed for kids to connect, play, and build friendships in a welcoming environment. 

3. Teen Hub & Career Readiness Space: An interactive space where teens can study, connect, learn, and prepare for the future. 

4. Secured Youth-Only Entrance & Exit: A safer, more efficient drop-off and pick-up system. 

5. Updated Boys' & Girls' Locker Rooms: New lockers, benches, changing stalls, and enhanced security features to provide a comfortable and safe space for all youth participants.
