The inhabitants of Krzyżowa and people visiting the historical palace-park complex on the territory of the Krzyżowa Foundation have been able to use a 5-station open-air gym for a few days now. The project was carried out as part of the 'WzMOCnij swoje otoczenie' programme organised by the Polish Power Grid.
The gym is a supplement to the existing sports recreation area and consists of 5 pieces of equipment: a jogger, a seated and standing twister, a stepper, a skier and an orbiter. The new infrastructure is designed for young people and adults, including seniors, who will be able to take care of their health and strengthen their physical condition in a safe, friendly environment. For the Krzyżowa Foundation this will be an opportunity to undertake and implement initiatives in the area of healthy living and sustainable development.
The programme "WzMOCnij swoje otoczenie" is a nationwide grant programme carried out by Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne and targeted at local authorities and their units - e.g. kindergartens, schools, libraries or social welfare centres, as well as non-governmental organisations that want to introduce important and long-lasting changes in their environment in one of the following eight areas: physical activity, safety, education, animal protection, development of common public space, natural environment, health and other initiatives that fall within the programme's objectives.
