Anderson installing fitness equipment at Jackson Park – The Herald Bulletin

Fitness Comments Off on Anderson installing fitness equipment at Jackson Park – The Herald Bulletin

ANDERSON Having an active group of walkers using the trail at Jackson Park, the city of Anderson is preparing to construct a fitness area.

The Anderson Board of Public Works set a date of Sept. 19 to accept quotes for the placement of fitness equipment on the west side of Jackson Park along Raible Avenue.

Kim Townsend, project contract specialist with the Anderson Community Development Department, said the new equipment will include pieces that can be used by disabled city residents.

Unlike other fitness equipment spread out along trails, the Jackson Park equipment will be centrally located so that people can work out together, she said.

There will be several stations and signs placed to explain how to use the equipment, Townsend said.

There is an active group that uses the walking trails at Jackson Park and a focus group indicated they wanted fitness equipment in the park, she said.

Funding for the project is coming from the citys Community Development Block Grant funds.

The estimated cost is $30,000.

David Eicks, chairman of the Anderson Board of Public Works, said the Jackson Park facility will be the first of its kind located in a city park.
