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.?
