The new Fitness Court at Jaycee Park in Westland was officially opened with a ribbon cutting ceremony last week. The fitness center, constructed in partnership with Priority Health and the National Fitness Campaign, is a free, fresh-air fitness facility designed to provide a seven-movement (core, squat, push, lunge, pull, agility and bend) workout. The Fitness Court outdoor gym was invented in 1979 by the San Francisco-based National Fitness. Staff from the Westland Fitness and Nutrition Center were on hand to perform a demonstration and members of the Westland Police and Fire departments participated in the "Race to Ribbon" Challenge. Jaycee Park is located at 3400 Hunter Ave. in the city.
The city also recently opened four new Pickleball Courts at Curtis Wood Park. The park, at 36400 Palmer Road, also features dedicated parking, a pavilion, picnic areas, play structures, portable restrooms, soccer, and a walking / jogging trail.
