Twinsburg Board approves Tiger Legacy Project for new fitness court and playground

In a vibrant gathering at the Twinsburg City School District's Board of Education meeting on March 19, 2025, community members and board members alike shared a vision for enhancing local recreational opportunities. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement as discussions centered around the introduction of a new outdoor fitness court, designed to cater to families of all ages and abilities.

The proposed fitness court, featuring a unique spongy, weatherproof surface, aims to provide a year-round space for various activities, including yoga and parkour. This initiative, part of the Tiger Legacy Project, seeks to foster a multi-generational environment where community members can engage in physical activity together. Board members emphasized the minimal financial impact of the project, highlighting potential partnerships for corporate sponsorships and grants to support its development.

In addition to the fitness court, plans for a handicap-accessible playground were also introduced, ensuring that all families, regardless of their children's ages or abilities, have a place to enjoy outdoor activities. The board expressed optimism about the project’s location, noting the lack of similar facilities in the area and the potential for increased community engagement.

As the meeting progressed, the board approved several routine measures, including the acceptance of meeting minutes and personnel recommendations, all passing unanimously. Notably, the board also greenlit an overnight trip for the Twinsburg High School varsity baseball team to compete in Columbus, showcasing the district's commitment to supporting student activities.

The meeting concluded with a sense of accomplishment and anticipation for the future, as board members and attendees alike recognized the importance of fostering a healthy, active community. With plans for new recreational facilities on the horizon, Twinsburg is poised to enhance its reputation as a thriving hub for family-friendly activities.
