Southampton set for new adiZone facility
Southampton City Council (SCC) has announced that a new adiZone - a multi-sport outdoor gym facility - is set to open at Mansell Park, Millbrook, on 9 March.
The 625sq m (6,727sq ft) venue, which is inspired by a range of Olympic and Paralympic sports, will boast a basketball, football and tennis area, a climbing wall, an outdoor gym and space for dance and gymnastics. SCC and the Department for Children, Schools and Families are funding the installation of the adiZone, while sportswear manufacturer Adidas has also agreed to contribute towards the scheme.
Phil Williams, SCC's cabinet member for housing and local services, said: "We're always looking for new ways to encourage our young people to get involved in sport. adiZone is the latest of these." Adidas director of marketing Nick Craggs added: "To date, the installation of adiZones has brought groups of young people together to get involved in a variety of sports and improved community relations, echoing the legacy that the London 2012 Games hopes to achieve."
