New ‘gym’ installed in Lancaster park
and live on Freeview channel 276
The Friends of Dorrington Woods and Play Park have announced that adults as well as children can now enjoy exercising and playing in the park at the end of Dorrington Road.
Funding for the four pieces of equipment - a crossrider, stepper, skier and airwalker - came from a Lancaster City Council Making Spaces grant in 2019. They are now installed in the park.
