A FREE outdoor gym, which will be open 365 days per year, has opened in a bid to help borough residents to keep fit.

Marlon Devonish, who was part of the winning 4x100m relay squad in Athens in 2004, opened Adizone in Ponders End Recreation Ground last Thursday.

Facilities include a basketball, football and tennis area, a climbing wall, an outdoor gym and an area for dance, aerobics and gymnastics.

The new gym is so-called because it is sponsored and designed by sports company Adidas, while the zones are designed to resemble the Olympic rings from the air.

The recreation ground will also be given a new perimeter jogging path, native species of plants and new cycle stands.

Funding also came from Enfield Council's Youth Opportunity Fund and Sports Development team.
