FREE outdoor gym use

Come and use the free gym equipment in Kingsgate and Lilliput Parks:

It is suitable for adults of all ages - including elderly residents.

There are instructions on how to use them, and you can adjust them to fit your fitness level. Please remember to sanitise your hands before and after use, and keep to social distancing.

Lib Dems on Yate Town Council worked with Dodington Parish Council to organise the funding and the two groups of equipment between them. It means people can do gym type exercise for free outdoors. And for those used to taking a walk for fitness, you can add a bit of upper body exercise if you want.

Let us know how you get on with the equipment and anything / anywhere else you think would benefit from this sort of provision.

Easter Bonnet competition reminder

Its forecast to rain on Easter Sunday (so some traditions continue) - so why not use the time to enter the Kingsgate Park Easter Bonnet Competition. This is an annual event, run by the Town Council and Friends of the Park - this year it is on one, so get your photos uploaded by 10am Monday 13th......

Virtual easter bonnet competition

So we can't have the Yate Town Council / Friends of Kingsgate Park easter egg hunt and easter bonnet competition in Kingsgate Park this year - but that hasn't stopped the Friends of the Park and the Town Council. They have organised an on line easter bonnet competition

Why not hunt round the house and see what you can make?

Happy to Chat?

New ' Happy to Chat' signs are springing up on benches around town. The first ones are at St Mary's Green and Kingsgate Park. Sit there if you are happy to chat to others. Done by Yate Town Council following an idea from the police to combat loneliness. If you know of a bench that should have a sign please tell the Focus Team.
