Grant Summary Pikeville High School With the $10,000 grant we received this year we will be implementing an outdoor gym in the Pikeville City Park. This gym will be completely free for everyone to use. With this gym we hope to combat the current obesity problem in our county. Statistics from our area show that socioeconomic backgrounds directly correlate with obesity, so to address this, we are are putting the gym in a part of our town that is within walking distance of all school and housing projects in our town. Since the gym is next to the park, parents will be able to bring their kids to the park while they exercise. The gym will include all types of exercise machines and structures, some of these will be ellipticals, and pull up bars. We are extremely excited to work hand in hand with our city government on this project and can not wait to see the positive impact it will have on our community.
