Puriton Assault Course
The assault course was opened in early August 2023 Paul Lowndes from Gravity and has already received amazing feedback from our young people and parents alike, enjoying the open air and facilities the Parish council have supplied.
- Members of the Council and the Pump Track working group discussed the potential of adding additional outdoor equipment be installed on completion of the pump track at the sports Centre, at the time we were keen to utilise the unused area of the sports Centre. The Council sought funding and permission from Puriton Sports Centre committee to move the project forward.
- It was agreed that a sustainable and organic style course would provide a challenging, creative, and suitable environment to match the setting, with addition of a zip wire which was requested by members of the community.
- Funding was sourced from various quarters including CIL funds, an anonymous donor of £10k and Gravity who were keen to invest some capital into the project and were very pleased to fund the zip wire, which was named “Gravity”.
- The assault course was opened in early August 2023.
