City of Kyle authorizes Phase 2 of Ash Pavilion

The Kyle City Council had a special visitor at its Nov. 5 meeting.

Ash Crane, 11, has a congenital heart condition and has undergone more than 20 procedures in his short life that led to him being approached by the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Instead of a trip to

Disneyworld or a major sporting event, Ash chose an unselfish path – to create a space where other people – youngsters and adults alike – could participate in a sport dear to his heart.

Before his family moved to Texas, he was a regular at an ice hockey rink. He’s now switched to roller hockey, in which players wear in-line skates. The Ash Pavilion, as the joint venture between Make-A-Wish and the city of Kyle, will also be adaptable for other sports including basketball.
