New mountainbike trail in Vaal

VANDERBIJLPARK. – A brand new mountain bike track, called Chaka’s Trail has recently been unveiled at Phoenix Park in SE 2 by MMC Chaka Radebe from ELM.
An innovative new concept, an outdoor gym, that is free for all residents to use has also been launched. An Outdoor Gym is a set of gym equipment designed, built and installed outdoors. It’s a new way to look at health and fitness, and includes much of the same equipment found in an indoor gym, but the difference is that outdoor gyms are specifically designed for outdoor use. Outdoor gyms, are suitable for adults of all ages and fitness levels, and you don’t need any experience to use them.
The developments at the park has been the source of a lot of speculation amongst the community living in the area. A time trial was staged as part of the official opening of the park. The event was well supported by a lot of keen cyclists, despite the inclement weather on the day. During the opening Councillor Phillip Nothnagel congratulated and thanked Braam Smit for all his hard work and dedication. It it wasn’t for Braam this park would still have been just another neglected area in our town. He also thanked all the other sponsors of the project. He conveyed a special word of appreciation to MMC Radebe for his enthusiastic support and his commitment on behalf of ELM to provide the ground on a long-term basis to be used as a cycle and trim park facility. Without Chaka’s support this development would not have been possible. According to Phillip the new Fitness Park at Chaka’s Trail is an example of how the DA is continually moving fitness forward to create a better way of life for our families. He invites all citizens to come and exercise in the sun, get back to nature and get fit, all in the leafy environs of our beautiful South African outdoors.
