The new sport and fitness equipment was formally opened last week by Councillor Gordon Marples, Chairman of Mid Sussex District Council and Councillor Pru Moore, Cabinet Member for Leisure and Sustainability.
Local people can now shoot some hoops in the park thanks to the brand new basketball area created by the Council. The ground has been tarmacked to create a smooth playing surface and white lines clearly mark out the shooting area. The new basketball is perfect for a bit of shooting practice or a competitive game of one on one.
Table tennis is not only great fun, it is terrific exercise and because it?s gentle on the body it is a sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The new heavy duty table tennis table installed by the Council can be used all year round, so it?s ready whenever people fancy a game. The table, including the net, is made of metal so that it is durable and can withstand everything the British weather has in store.
The new outdoor gym area has been tarmacked to create a balanced and even surface for a workout. There is a lat pull down machine to increase muscle strength in the shoulders and arms, a body twister to improve flexibility in the hips and a horseback rider that works the back, arms and legs. To provide a workout for the heart and lungs there is a Space Walker, Skier and a Surfer machine that helps to strengthen tummy muscles.
?World?s End Recreation ground has lots of fantastic playground equipment for younger children but there was less for teenagers and young adults to do,? said Councillor Pru Moore, Cabinet Member for Leisure and Sustainability. ?I was talking with Cllr Kirsty Page, who is a Town Councillor for this area, and she told me that young people were always asking for something that their age group could enjoy.
?Our new sport and fitness equipment was only installed a few weeks ago and it is already looking like money well spent. After school the whole area is buzzing and the new equipment is proving to be extremely popular with teenagers and young adults. I hope people continue to enjoy the health and social benefits of this equipment for many years to come.?
For more information about the new sport and fitness equipment contact the Mid Sussex District Council Outdoor Services team on 01444 477439 or email parksopenspaces@midsussex.gov.uk.

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer fight for justice in their upcoming film, "The Lone Ranger," but their ancestors did it for real.
Genealogy research website Ancestry.com revealed Wednesday the two actors descend from historic American freedom fighters.
Hammer plays the Lone Ranger and Depp portrays his Native American sidekick, Tonto. Yet the site's historians discovered that it's Hammer with the native roots. The 26-year-old actor is a descendent of Cherokee leader and peace advocate Chief Kanagatucko, who was known as "Old Hop" or "Stalking Turkey" because of his age and gait.
Researchers said Depp's eighth great-grandmother was Elizabeth Key, the first slave in the American colonies to sue for her freedom and win. It happened in 1656 in Virginia, where some of Depp's ancestors have lived since the early 1600s.

WASHINGTON (AP) ? President Barack Obama is pressing the Senate and the House to complete action on immigration legislation before the August summer break. He says: "Now is the time to do it."
He says he wants the strongest possible bipartisan vote in the Senate before the Republican-controlled House gets to act on the legislation.
The Senate was on the verge of a crucial test vote Monday on the bill. It would offer citizenship to millions of immigrants over time and pour billions of dollars into border security.
Obama spoke after meeting with nine business people who support changing current immigration laws.
Obama says the bill does not contain everything he wants, but says it adheres to the main principles of the type of overhaul he has sought.

Greasy fingers are the bane of touchscreens, obscuring the display behind snail trails of oil and streaks of grime. Forget that mess. Leap Motion has promised
As a brief refresher, the Leap Motion Controller tracks your hand and finger movements in three-dimensional space, allowing users to recreate multitouch input without actually touching anything. You just wave your hands and wiggle your fingers in the air over it and boom, your computer responds.
It will be available for Windows 7 and 8, as well as Mac OS X 10.6 and above, when the $80 device hits store shelves on July 29th (though if you pre-ordered, it's out on the 22nd). It won't be available for mobile to start but the company is looking into potentially integrating the technology with a number of OEMs.
With a few waves of your hands, both native applications?from web browsers to Google Earth?and system navigations respond instantly to your commands. The company is also developing Airspace, an online hub for LeapMotion-enabled applications.
"Everything you can do with a touch-based system, like Windows 8, can now be accomplished with LeapMotion technology. We want our users to have a magical experience, with easy and natural movements in the air leading to amazing interactions. This is the foundation for our approach to existing systems," David Holz, co-founder and CTO of LeapMotion, said in a press statement. "But this is only the beginning. The potential for our 3D interaction technology is really unleashed by applications built specifically for LeapMotion, helping drive the future of computing."
I had the opportunity to try out the Leap Motion last week, and great googly moogly this thing is amazeballs. It tracks both hands?their position, angle, rotation, orientation, everything?in real time, as well as the positions and movements of all three joints in all ten fingers. The controller registers everything within a roughly foot-tall, 18-inch-wide dome-shaped area surrounding the controller and is wildly accurate, picking up even miniscule finger twitches. During the demo, used Google Earth to fly around Lower Manhattan like I was the kid from Flight of the Navigator, I played a 3D variation of Brick Breaker using my index fingers as paddles to punch, poke, and prod the ball around the arena, and I navigated around both OS X and Windows 8 systems by swiping my hands through the air.
It was strange, initially, getting used to moving the cursor without grabbing a mouse or tapping the screen but it only takes a second to get the hang of the process. The controller can also be set to use either basic controls (taps, swipes, and other common input commands) or more advanced gestures, which helps ease you into it as well.
Granted, I played with this device for all of 15 minutes in a controlled environment (LeapMotion's SF office) but that was a glorious quarter hour; I felt like Tony Stark using the Jarvis UI. July 29th can't come soon enough.

Gogo Inc., which provides Internet service on airline flights, failed to connect with the stock market Friday.
The company is growing rapidly, but it is also unprofitable. And the initial public offering of stock came at the end of a tumultuous week on Wall Street, which may have unnerved investors. The Dow Jones industrial average tumbled 560 points on Wednesday and Thursday.
On Friday, Gogo's stock fell 5.8 percent in its first day on the Nasdaq.
The company, which is based in Itasca, Ill., uses a network of cell towers to provide Internet access for passengers on more than 1,900 planes. Customers include four of the five biggest U.S. airlines ? United, Delta, American and US Airways ? which charge passengers for Internet access. Southwest Airlines uses a rival Wi-Fi provider, Row 44.
Gogo is going public as it seeks to expand its service to international flights. CEO Michael Small said Friday that the company decided to sell the shares now because its planned international expansion "is becoming real."
The IPO will help pay for that expansion, Small said in an interview, and "the credibility of being a public company will help us with airlines around the world." The IPO raised $187 million.
In March, Gogo signed an agreement with Delta to outfit the airline's entire international fleet of 170 planes with satellite-based service. It also wants to put its service on planes operated by foreign carriers.
While Gogo says its service is available on 81 percent of all Wi-Fi-enabled planes in North America, only about 6 percent of passengers pay for Internet.
The company is optimistic that it can increase the use of its service. Small said that usage will rise as airlines connect their entire fleets and let passengers order the service when they buy tickets. The company, whose typical customer is a business traveler seeking to stay connected with the office, also is trying to reach more leisure travelers.
A fairly new service called Gogo Vision on three airlines includes a selection of movies that are loaded on the plane, not streamed from the ground. If Vision grows, that could help Gogo overcome a criticism of its regular service ? that it's too slow for streaming video and doesn't support Netflix.
And investors are concerned about the company's ability to become profitable, said analyst Paul Bard of IPO research firm Renaissance Capital.
"It seems like a no-brainer that every airline is going to want to offer this (in-flight Internet) service, so the opportunity is very big," Bard said. "But the performance is slow, you can't get video (without Gogo Vision), and they're going to have to invest heavily" to improve the service. "They're growing fast, but they're not profitable."
The company lost $95.6 million last year, and its first-quarter 2013 loss widened to $32.5 million from a loss of $17.6 million a year earlier, even though revenue increased 30 percent.
Bard said recent market jitters contributed to the company's first-day decline, and that investors looking for a hot stock may have bailed out when the shares didn't soar right away. Two other companies, a Brazilian cement company and a Kansas City maker of veterinary drugs, postponed their IPOs this week, citing market conditions.
Investors also may worry about potential competition if federal rules on in-flight electronic devices are changed, potentially giving passengers more options for connecting to the Internet, Bard said.
Gogo's IPO priced 11 million shares at $17 each. The company had filed for an IPO in December 2011 but held off selling shares during a sluggish market for IPOs. In the meantime, the company obtained a $135 million credit facility last year in a deal arranged by Morgan Stanley, and it increased the borrowing limit by $113 million in April.
The shares are trading under the "GOGO" ticker symbol. The stock fell $1 to close at $16.

British agency GCHQ's involvement in the NSA's global surveillance have some drawing parallels with the phone-hacking scandal that rocked the British media.
Rebekah Brooks (c.), former News International chief executive, leaves Southwark Crown Court in London where she appeared to face charges related to phone hacking earlier this month. Some are drawing parallels between the phone hacking scandal and the revelations of broad surveillance of phone calls and email by British spy agency GCHQ and its US counterpart, the NSA.

But it also comes at a sensitive moment for Britain itself, still reeling from the phone hacking of British media giants that has brought privacy issues to the fore of the public debate.
?The issue of the ease with which organizations can both collect and then publicize information is transforming society?s understanding about what is and what is not confidential,? says?Martin Moore of the London-based Media Standards Trust, a charity advocating more ethical practices in the British press.
The most recent allegations, against the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), are based on documents provided by former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward?Snowden. The British newspaper reported Sunday night that the agency?spied on the phone calls and emails of diplomats who were visiting London during a G20 summit in 2009. This included setting up and tapping an Internet?caf??and?hacking the communications of the South African foreign ministry and a Turkish delegation.
The revelation comes after Mr.?Snowden?provided documentation, also to the Guardian and The Washington Post, disclosing the surveillance of common citizens by the US government in its ongoing anti-terrorism fight ? a revelation that had dismayed Europe.
But the GCHQ?scandal raises questions that relate to the 2011 phone-hacking scandal in British media, says Mr. Moore. In the earlier scandal, information that public figures and newsmakers considered private was accessible by corporations, creating a "digital footprint" and the ?potential for misuse,? he says ? much like the GCHQ spying, just with the government, instead of media corporations, doing the hacking of the public's data.
This case will turn attention to the access that governments?have to information considered private. ?We?re going to see many more conversations about what the safeguards ought to be and whether there ought to be greater openness from governments as to what [information] they are collecting and how they are using it,? Moore says.
Just this month, Rebekah Brooks, the former chief executive of News International, pleaded not guilty in court in London to charges including intercepting voice-mail messages in a scandal that eventually spread to officials and other news organizations.
?The phone-hacking scandal produced massive reaction," says James Curran, director of the media studies center at the University of London, and left a society sensitive to the powers of new technologies.?
?Powerful institutions in society are now enabled through new communications technology to probe private letters without sufficient public-interest justification,? he says. The discontent has spanned the political spectrum, with both the right and left condemning an erosion of privacy. ?My hunch is there will be enormous fuss, like a snowball that gets bigger and bigger.?
