As part of the Council’s major refurbishment plans for parks and recs across the area, Victoria Park in Worthing is going to have an  outdoor gym  installed and the Council are keen to know what pieces of Outdoor Gym equipment its residents would like?

The Parks department have posted a selection of different types of outdoor gym equipment available  to choose from on the Councils website, www.adur-worthing.gov.uk/victoria-park-outdoor-gym-consultation, along with a feedback form for residents to log their preferances.

All of the equipment shown is already available and proving to be very popular with residents who use the Outdoor Gyms at Windsor Lawns, Esplanade, Worthing and at Pond Lane Recreation Ground in Durrington.

Councillor Daniel Humphreys, Leader of Worthing Borough Council adds “The Council have invested over £244,000 over the past year in one of the largest park refurbishment projects it has ever undertaken.  

The benefits of this Outdoor Gym in Victoria Park are many.  It will enable young and old, friends and family, to enjoy gym equipment together.  All year round (weather allowing) and for free.  It will provide the opportunity to enjoy regular exercise in a safe and convenient location and to embracing a more active and healthier lifestyle.”

There will also be a display of the options on offer in the foyer of Worthing Town Hall, Chapel Road, Worthing from 9am on Monday 7th March, along with an opportunity to register favoured options on a paper form.

All preferences must be submitted, online or in paper form by 5pm on Thursday 31st March 2016.

The results will be published on the Council's website in April and the Council are hoping to have the Outdoor Gym in Victoria Park open to the public in time for the school Summer holidays this year.   

The installation of this Outdoor Gym in Victoria Park, Worthing is made possible by funding of £25,000 from Worthing Borough Council’s Capital Investment Programme.
