A new fitness court was unveiled in Junction City on Wednesday at Fifth Street, Playground Park. The new fitness court was revealed following a ribbon cutting hosted by the Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce.

Kendall Schoenrock, with Quality Play for All, spoke about the changes that Fifth Street Park has undergone and how thankful he is for all of the support throughout these improvements.

“Fitness is directly related to quality of life,” Schoenrock said. “The more opportunities we give kids and young adults to be active, the healthier we are, and the better it is for the community.”

This new fitness court is part of a national fitness campaign and was made available through the city of Junction City, Quality Play for All, and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas.

Members of the Junction City High School football team were present at the ribbon cutting to demonstrate how the new fitness court is designed to give a full-body workout in seven movements.
