Undeniably, each and every one of us yearn for a better neighbourhood, including me. Living in a better environment promises us a more conducive, healthier and safer environment. However, it is such a painful fact that bettering a neighbourhood is relatively complicated and endevour. If I ever have a chance, to make an important change about my neighbourhood, I would take the opportunity to build a clubhouse. There are several reasons why building a clubhouse is my utmost priority.
First and foremost, a clubhouse acts as an event holding space. Usually, there will be large open areas in a clubhouse which is used for gatherings and various social events. With the presence of a clubhouse, the neighbourhood associations could organise events for the residents every now and then such as annual party, barbeque and gatherings in conjunction of all sorts of celebrations for the residents to mingle together. This would definitely strengthen the relationship among the residents. In short, this small act is crucial in securing the neighbourhood a safer place to live in because only people who know and care for the neighbourhood would go extra mile to better their community.
Besides, a clubhouse serves the purpose of recreation that allows people from all walks of life to spare their leisure time. More than often, a clubhouse is well equipped with facilities such as playground, swimming pool, badminton court, library and so on for the residents to unwind their tiredness after a long day of working and studying. Children could enjoy their splashing moment and running around wildly with their agemates. On the other hand, adults could engage themselves in both indoor activities as well as outdoor games too. Students too can have a room that free from any distraction to themselves to organise study group. As the saying goes an idle brain is the devil’s workshop. The presence of a clubhouse offers great areas for the residents to spend their weekend hours beneficially.
In addition, a clubhouse is an ideal place for the residents to live a healthy lifestyle as it is well equipped with most modern and good pieces of equipment such as treadmill, cross-trainer, rowing machine and so on. Undeniably, the residents in this neighbourhood live a sedentary lifestyle as the facilities available in the housing area is insufficient to cater the usage of all the residents. Sadly to say, there are only a jogging track, a badminton court, a basketball court and a playground for the residents that is not enough to go about (僧多粥少). Moreover, not many of the residents can afford a gym set at home as the price can cost an arm and a leg. Not only that, it is bulky and space consuming. In long run, the health of the residents are threatened and as a result, they might suffer from related diseases such as heart attack, hypertension, stroke and so on. Therefore, by having a clubhouse in the neighbourhood, the health of the residents would be guaranteed.
In a nutshell, if I were given such a golden opportunity, I would definitely opt for a clubhouse in my residential area without having a second thought. A clubhouse not only can foster the relationship among the residents, it also enables the residents to make good use their spare time beneficially and improve their physical health. With this one change, I can actually kill two birds with one stone.
