TROON will hopefully be getting itself a skate and outdoor fitness area.

A new steering group is working with the Troon Community Sports Club, who are a local charitable organisation, whose aim is to prompt sport and activity throughout Troon.

Two sites are in the works for the skate and fitness area, being either Barassie Beach or South Beach.

Donna Read is fairly confident that this plan will be achieved.

She said: "The two sites are our hopeful sites to get the skate and fitness park up and running and we hope to hold a consultation to get everyone in the community involved.

"We were given positive feedback from South Ayrshire Council and they said that they will help find areas for the project."

As the new steering group is community lead, the funds for this project will be raised externally and through lottery funding.
