The Proposal:

We would like to work with the council and park guardians to have a Trim Trail installed in Beddington Park. Aimed at adults, a Trim Trail for Beddington Park would bring a whole new dimension to the park.

Why?

Inactivity: is behind a wide range of health issues which costs the NHS money. Cost: can be a barrier to fitness – this would be a free resource for the community Facility For Adults: the trail would make the park even more of a destination. The existing facilities are aimed mainly at young children. This would be aimed at adults and the teenage local school children. This is a different offering to the existing gym equipment which limits the number of users to

  • ne person per machine and one exercise per
  • machine. Each piece of trail equipment would

be multi-functional & accommodate a larger number of users. There is trend towards this style of ‘obstacle running’ e.g. ToughMudder TH THIS WOULD OF OFFER A A STRUCTURED, DE DESIGNED & & COMPLETE CA CARDIO-VASCULAR & & STRE TRENGTH TRA TRAINING WORKOUT

Where & what would it look like?

Our ambition is to have 15 obstacles in groups of 2 or 3 around the park. It would run alongside the main paving areas to ensure maximum visibility/access & for safety reasons. We would work with the council and Friends of Beddington Park to ensure that the trail is entirely in-keeping with the style of the park and will not be an eye-

  • sore. They would be made of play-grade

timber with a life span of around 10-15 years.

Cost?

Based on indicative quotes we would anticipate a cost of £15,000 based on £1,000 per obstacle. We are exploring additional sources

  • f funding to supplement the

proposal.

What about safety & maintenance?

  • Maintenance could be tied in with the

checks on the playground

  • A rubber-type surface would be underneath

each obstacle to provide grip

  • The design would be durable and risk

assessed.

  • It will be made of treated, play-grade

timber
