That’s when Council hopes to have outdoor gym equipment installed.

Details were revealed to members of Council’s Community Planning and Wellbeing Committee last week when they received an update on funding received to create the alfresco facility.

Councillors were reminded that back in March, the Public Health Agency made £15,000 of funding available to the Council specifically to buy outdoor gym equipment and that, in line with Council procurement procedures, a tender process for its purchase is currently underway.

The aim is to enhance the range of facilities on offer in the Park and it was pointed out to the meeting that, due to the high volume of users, the outdoor gym should be well used.
