CROWSON Park Riding for the Disabled (RDA) is celebrating after recently completing work on its much-needed concrete path and steel yards.
The work was made possible thanks to community support, with funding of $6400 from Greenbank RSL Services Club, $1500 from Logan City Council and $1050 from Tabol of Nolidge.
Crowson Park RDA treasurer Trish Hollis said the new concrete pathway was a big improvement on the old, cracked concrete one.
She said the organisation's 23 riders and 30 volunteers were very happy with the results.
"The old concrete had been done in bits and pieces and was all breaking away and a really bad trip hazard for our rider and volunteers," Ms Hollis said.
"The new path is smooth, has no trip hazards and we are all really glad to have it because it is something we have wanted and needed for a long time."
Ms Hollis said the new steel yards were also much needed as the old timber ones were falling apart.
The funding for Crowson Park RDA came together after Division 7 Councillor Laurie Smith was contacted by the club about the need for a new concrete path.
Cr Smith said he then spoke to the Greenbank RSL Services Club and Tabol of Nolidge about supporting the club as well.
"We got the club to put a community grant application in to Greenbank RSL and they were successful," he said.
"With that money, as well as what council and Tabol of Nolidge put in, we were able to turn what was going to be a bit of a patch up job into a completely new constructed footpath area, with money left over to do the rest of the yards."
Crowson Park RDA is looking for more volunteers to help riders take part in lessons each Tuesday and Wednesday.
