In less than 1 year since opening the new Memorial Play Park, North Walsham Play (in partnership with North Walsham Town Council) officially opened the town’s new Eco-Gym on Satuday 10th August.

The 13 piece outside gym is located in the Memorial Park and will be accessible to all 365 days per year!

4 pieces of equipment generate electricity which users can take advantage of by plugging in their devices to allow them to charg whilst they exercise!

Opened by Cllr Garry Bull (Town Mayor) and Malcolm David Wesby (Sheringham Shoal representative), the gym is the first of its kind within Norfolk. Special thanks goes to the following groups and organisations for their finaicial support to make this project possible:

On Friday 12th July, North Walsham Play hosted the 2nd consultation in connection with a new Skate Park. A packed out Costa Coffee helped to shape the design and requirements for the towns Skate Park.

We are now working closely with the team at Gravity Skateparks to bring about out version of the design below. It captures all the elements of what members of North Walsham want to see in their new skate park.

But we cannot for this alone! We really do need your help and support. Can you donate money, time, resources towards this massive fundraising appeal? If so, please contact us today!
