(KMZA)--An outdoor fitness court should be ready for use next summer in the city of Seneca.

That follows action taken by the Seneca City Council last week.

The Council unanimously voted at their December 20th meeting to give City Administrator Steve Brooks approval to place the order for the court even though the city is about $60,500 short of the estimated $205,000 total cost.

So far, Blue Cross/ Blue Shield of Kansas and the city have each pledged $50,000, and local businesses and companies have promised about $40,000 of cash and in-kind donations.

Brooks said he should hear back by February if an application for a $50,000 grant from T-Mobile to help fund the project is successful.

The Council adopted a resolution last month committing to the construction and launch of the fitness court by the end of 2024.

The court, a 38-by-38 foot square of outdoor exercise fixtures, was developed by the National Fitness Campaign.

A site east of the Aquatic Center parking lot is proposed for the court.
