Towns set to fight the flab with ‘tone zones’

SPECIAL “tone zones” encouraging residents to work up a sweat are to be installed in several Cork towns at a cost of €185,000.

Bandon, Ballincollig, Youghal and Rochestown are among nine Co Cork towns in line for the state-of-the-art outdoor gyms, which feature sophisticated equipment for exercising the arms, legs and waist.

The towns of Bantry, Schull, Dunmanway, Fermoy and Mallow are also earmarked for the amenity.
