THE CITY of Casey will meet with the Lynbrook Residents Association to confirm the planned installation of outdoor exercise equipment at Banjo Patterson Reserve.
There are currently 12 outdoor exercise stations across Casey that provide residents with free access to equipment to improve their health and wellbeing.
“Over the years council has identified different places to install fitness stations around reserves and parks in the community,” River Gum Ward councillor Wayne Smith said
“Lynbrook requested to be considered to have equipment installed and council agrees that they should have it,” he said.
And Cr Smith believes the prospective project will be a valuable resource for residents.
“We’re all about keeping fit and staying healthy and the pieces of equipment will be suitable for both adults and kids.
“There isn’t any doubt that council believes it should happen and will happen, it’s just a matter of getting it done as soon as possible,” Cr Ward said.
Lynbrook Residents Association president Christopher Morgan said that the move is welcomed warmly by the LRA.
“This is a fantastic win for the residents of Lynbrook and users of the fantastic Banjo Paterson Park facility, as the LRA have been pushing for this for a number of years.
“All of us a very pleased with this outcome and we look forward to collaborating with the City of Casey to get this equipment installed for the benefit of all concerned.
“There are a lot of people that use Banjo Paterson Park for exercise and I’m sure this new exercise equipment will be put to very good use,” Mr Morgan said.
