OUTDOOR gym equipment is set to be installed in Darlington’s South Park after planning officers granted permission.
Three pieces of equipment will be installed next to the park’s tennis courts to provide a green gym.
The exact equipment to be installed by the council has not yet been decided but it is likely to include a cross-country skier and a chest press.
The application was granted by council officers acting under delegated powers as there were no objections to the proposals.
A report confirming the decision noted that the three pieces of equipment will be placed next to the tennis court and a children’s playground and should not detract from the park’s historic character and appearance.
