£40,000 new eight-piece trim trail launched in Seamer and Crossgates, Scarborough
Seamer Parish Council has launched a new eight-piece trim trail for young people and adults, along Centurion Way, and the footpaths to Long Lane and towards Crab Lane, Crossgates.
The equipment includes rollover bars, sit up beams, a balance weaver, parallel bars, low hurdles, leap frogs, monkey bars and a scramble net log climber.
It is all high quality, mainly timber and sited in eco mulch safety surfacing, next to or between lighting columns along the footpaths, which remain on from dusk until midnight and are back on from 5am.
The trim trail adds to the council’s existing offer of children’s playgrounds and outdoor gyms for young people and adults:
a playground for toddlers and juniors at The Green Park, Seamer
a playground for juniors and an outdoor gym at the Recreation Ground, Seamer
an outdoor gym between Crab Lane, Long Lane and Magpie Garth, Crossgates
and North Yorkshire Council’s three children’s playgrounds on Hadrian’s Walk, between Crab Lane, Long Lane and Magpie Garth and between Advocet Crescent and Raven Close, Crossgates.
The trim trail was fully funded by £40,000 Section 106 Commuted Sums for the provision of/improvements to public open space and sports facilities via North Yorkshire Council.
Coun Lynda Wallis, Chairman of Seamer Parish Council, said: “This trim trail is an exciting addition to our offer for the fun, challenge, physical and mental health and wellbeing of our young people and adults.
“Thanks to our partner North Yorkshire Council and provider Wicksteed Leisure Ltd.”
Coun Heather Phillips of Seamer Division and North Yorkshire Council’s Executive Member for Corporate Services, added: “This is an example of Seamer Parish Council having the vision to lead this project, working with our specialist teams across North Yorkshire Council to deliver a fantastic, new, free facility for this community.”
