Outdoor gym equipment – community survey
The Community Council are looking to spend some of the CrystalRig wind farm funds on a community project that would help support the health and well-being of local people.
The proposed project would involve the installation of up to five small exercise workstations at the south-west corner of Garvald park. The equipment would be free to use and suitable for adults of ALL ages and abilities (and teens aged 14+ years).
We would like to gather as much feedback as possible.
Please complete this short survey
It would be much appreciated if you could do this straight away! Many thanks.
More information:
- The workstations (shown above) are from Proludic Ltd.
- The proposed location is shown below.
- The Community Council are also aiming to install two more workstations in Morham at the village hall at a later date.
