(KMZA)--A ribbon cutting ceremony was held Thursday morning for a new outdoor fitness court at Seneca's Skoch Park.

The city was awarded a $50,000 grant from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas to help fund the project, with the remainder of the more than $200,000 cost raised through local funds.

The fitness court was developed by the National Fitness Campaign to provide a total fitness workout accessible to all ages and skill levels. The court comes with a free app that can be downloaded, which provides hundreds of workouts that can be done on the court.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mayor Joe Mitchell said the governing body of Seneca is proud to support the addition of another amenity that supports health and wellness in the community. Like Blue Cross and Blue Shield, he said they recognize the importance of a healthy community.

Local residents were on hand at the ceremony to test out the court and give a demonstration on how to use it.

The fitness court, the tenth in Kansas, is now open to the public for use, free of charge.
