Ninja obstacle course established in new London sport centre

Lutalo Muhammad opened the centre in Waltham Forest

London’s first permanent ‘ninja run’ obstacle course has been established in a new leisure centre in Waltham Forest as part of the council’s £30m (US$38.7m, €34.4m) upgrade plan.

The course at the Waltham Forest Feel Good Centre includes vertical and horizontal climbing walls, hang tough and a battle beam. However, the ninja course is not the only equipment in the centre.

It also boasts 10m climbing walls, a mini trampoline park, a multi-challenge sport and adventure zone, a 25m eight-lane swimming pool, a four-court sports hall, dance studio, a gym, diving board and an artificial pitch.

GLL will operate the centre, which was the final part of the investment programme which has seen a number of sport and leisure facilities in the local area upgraded.

The site was opened by Olympic silver medallist Lutalo Muhammad.

Mark Sesnan, managing director of GLL, said the facilities were “fit for any future Olympian and for family fun”.

“It really is more than just a leisure centre,” said council leader Chris Robbins, “offering a wealth of activities designed to excite, entertain and help look after all aspects of people’s health and wellbeing.”

He added: “The centre represents another stage in our efforts to bring high quality leisure facilities to all our residents.”
