The city of Roanoke Parks and Recreation Department accepted a $50,000 national grant award in August as part of the National Fitness Campaign. With that grant funding, the parks and recreation department built an outdoor fitness court, which is now complete.

According to a city news release, the campaign, sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, is part of a national movement to make world-class fitness free and accessible in public spaces across the country.

The court is located on the south end of the Roanoke soccer complex at 501 Roanoke Road. According to the news release, an official grand opening of the court will be scheduled for a future date, according to the city.
