The Wakamow Valley Authority is well on its way to getting a new exercise area in Conner Park. They are raising funds to build a brand new challenge course for teens and adults.

One of the ways they are getting that money is through a 50/50 draw according to Ailsa McKeen.

"That's been going very well." said McKeen. "The draw date is October 6th and we'll be selling tickets at Festival of Flavours but people can by tickets right up until October 6th when we draw the tickets."

Festival of Flavours is September 21st at the Temple Gardens with proceeds from the event also going towards the new structure that will allow folks to relieve a popular television show.

If you like watching shows like American Ninja Warrior or Ultimate Beastmaster, then the new park will appeal to you. The Pro Challenge Course features platforms to jump to, walls to climb, balance beams, hurdles and other obstacles.  Combine with other activities such as sprints and pushups, the apparatus can be used for outdoor training with a touch of fun.

Wakamow is hoping to install the new feature next year.
