In 2004 Breds secured land to build out The Treasure Beach Sports Park with the support of then Member of Parliament and Minister of Water and Housing Donald Buchanan who was able to convince the sitting government via the Ministry of Water and Housing to purchase lands and lease them back to Breds for 49 years. A few years later Breds received a donation from Cubie Seegobin and sprinter Yohan Blake to purchase two additional acres of land adjoining the Sports Park and expanded the park to 17 acres. This was followed by a donation from Ted Corrihan of Everything Attachments in North Carolina of a tractor and various other equipment crucial to the park’s operation. In conjunction with UNICEF and the C4 Recovery Foundation the park was able to also construct a high and low ropes course. Designed to build trust and confidence amongst participants including at risk youth from urban areas, the challenge course was launched under the auspices of Jamaican-American General Colin Powell who also blessed the course with his name. The park in its entirety features: a swimming pool, playground, tennis court, basketball court, two pavilions, a football field, open air theater, after school arts education facility, cricket field, changing rooms and bathrooms, two bars, cooking facilities and challenge course.
