RENNERT — On Friday, the Town of Rennert will unveil a new outdoor Fitness Court at the Rennert Community Park, improving and enhancing the quality of life for North Carolina residents.
This exciting program is a featured part of the nationwide initiative launched by National Fitness Campaign, on a mission to change health outcomes in America.
This award-winning initiative welcomed its 500th healthy community in 2023 and is now funded to deliver vital outdoor wellness programs to 1,000 healthy communities by 2026 to help get people moving outdoors and to fight the rising fiscal and humanitarian costs of physical inactivity.
This year, Robeson County Parks and Recreation, along with dozens of other select recipients from across the country, received grant funding from the National Fitness Campaign to support the program.
In addition to the NFC grant, local funding and sponsorships from Locklear Enterprise, SE General Contractors, Lumbee Guarantee Bank, Pembroke Hardware, Robeson Healthcare Corp., LREMC, First Bank, Met-Con, J & H Farms, Walton Farms, HP Wood Products, and Fuller’s BBQ have contributed to making the project in Rennert possible. Special thanks go to County Commissioner David Edge and State Representative Jarrod Lowery, who have been instrumental in the development of Rennert Park.
