(KMZA)--The city of Seneca has been awarded a grant for an outdoor fitness court.
Seneca City Administrator Steve Brooks informed the City Council last week of the $50,000 grant award from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas for the project.
Mayor Joe Mitchell said the city would match the grant funds but would like outside support for the balance of the funding for the estimated $210,000 project.
The grant is contingent on the city coming up with the remainder of the funding. Brooks said city Recreation and Community Development Director Jordan Weaver is actively reaching out to potential donors in the community to help bring the project to a reality.
The Council approved pursuing the grant after hearing a presentation in August from Weaver.
The fitness court, a 38-by-38 foot square of outdoor exercise fixtures, was developed by the National Fitness Campaign.
A site near the city's Aquatic Center is being proposed for the court.
