Looking to install free outdoor gym spaces in Lytchett Matravers Recreation Ground, Lytchett Matravers Parish Council approached Fletchamoore to carry out ground preparation work on the areas involved.
By preparing the spaces properly, we would ensure the equipment would remain safe for the public to use for many years to come.
About the project


We began by cordoning off four areas with red tape barriers. These barriers clearly indicated which areas were being worked on, and discouraged the public from trespassing on them. The areas we worked on totalled 67.5m2.
Next, we measured out the exact dimensions and cleared away all grass and vegetation. We opted for rectangular areas for a modern, tidy look. We then installed a study stone subbase that could withstand high foot traffic, cutting down the risk of equipment sinking into the ground.
The next step came after the equipment was installed. The ground under the gyms would need to handle a lot of jumping and movement, so we spread a layer of rubber mulch that would provide cushioning under feet. It would also provide a soft landing should someone trip and fall, reducing the risk of injury.
The Finished Gym Areas


The end result was a series of safe, well-prepared gym areas that locals and passersby could enjoy for many years to come.
