adiZones are innovative multi-sports facilities designed in the shape of the London 2012 logo. Each site includes a large outdoor gym, basketball and football area, climbing wall, tennis wall and a freestyle area for aerobics, dance and martial arts!

The adiZone concept aims promote an active and healthy lifestyle for people of all ages, and after being successfully piloted in the four host Olympic boroughs of London, more adiZones will now be rolled out across England. So far, Gravesham is the only area in Kent to have successfully secured an adiZone.

Additional funding has been made available for a limited number of part-funded adiZones to be geographically spread across the nine regions of England.
