A community facility that allows more people with disabilities to enjoy a Hampshire park has opened.
The new outdoor activity building 4all Hanger will help provide storage for specialist cycles and has been made possible with a £50,000 grant from Southampton Airport.
It awarded the cash to Eastleigh’s Pavilion on the Park in Fleming Park after it applied to build the facility.
The new 4all Hanger will provide storage for specialist cycles and a focal point for developing work skills, independent living skills and recreation and leisure experiences.
Jim Vaughan, chairman of the Eastleigh Youth Trust and the Pavilion on the Park, said: “With the new 4all Hanger we can access our fleet of adapted cycles with ease, it will be easier to care for them, clean them and maintain them, and overall they will have a longer life span.”
