CLAREMORE, Okla. -

City leaders in Claremore are celebrating the opening of a new fitness court at Claremore lake.

Along with walking trails, playgrounds, and a disc golf course, Claremore lake now has an outdoor fitness court to give people another way to get some exercise. It’s a gym that allows people 14 and older to leverage their body weight for exercises at 7 different stations. There’s even a free app that works with the court to help people through it. The fitness court was paid for by a 30,000 dollar grant from the National Fitness Campaign, which selected Claremore to help build a healthy community.

Other funding came from the American Rescue Plan Act.
