Find out about GoodGym TaskForce

This morning we ran a starter session, for anyone wanting to find out a bit more about GoodGym. We began in Brockwell park and some of us even did Parkrun before, which was nice! It was a chilly day but also sunny and good for running.

After Parkrun we gathered together and trainer Katie gave a short introduction about GoodGym. We then headed off on a nice slow 1.5km run to our task - Grove Adventure Playground. This brilliant space has been reclaimed by the community and is being spruced up so that it can be used again. We quickly set about spreading woodchip under swings and onto paths, as well as sanding down any rough wood to save fingers from splinters.

We swapped halfway through and did a 20 star jumps and 20 squats to keep moving. Once finished, some people went down the steep slide and then we stretched and set off about our day. Thanks for coming and see you at a group run soon!

This outdoor space for kids in Brixton has been saved from closure and needs our help to paint newly built structures and keep it safe to use.
