Henley In Arden Outdoor Gym in the Park

Aim

To create an outdoor gym for our community following the closure of our indoor gymnasium following WASPS proposal to purchase the site

A bit about us:

With such a high amount of elderly residents in our town it is essential that we can provide some gym equipment for them to use for free and within walking distance for their overall well being and strength training. Following the closure of our local gymnasium our youth no longer have access to exercise after school, which was a very popular activity in the past. We are the local parish council and have the backing of the whole town for this project. Our local Facebook page demonstrates the strong support from our residents for the need for this project.

Our Town:

The entire town community which has 3781 residents, will benefit from this project.

Our Project:

We have sought numerous quotations and have now selected our preferred supplier who has agreed a great deal for us for both the equipment and the installation.
