After recently installing fitness equipment along the Monon near the Custom Concrete business, 17241 Foundation Pkwy., Custom Concrete was nominated by Parks Director Melody Jones to be the recipient of the Greenways Foundation of Indiana Outstanding Corporation award.
The award ceremony was held at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Indianapolis Feb. 16.
“Last year we made three additions to the trail in close proximity to our business. There’s now a quarter of a mile stretch that we call the Custom Concrete healthy path, and we installed three fitness stations with various exercise and stretching equipment so our employees and the general public can utilize those fitness stations,” said Brad Schrock, Custom Concrete vice president. “One station is really unique. It’s designed to be handicap accessible. You can pull a wheelchair up to it and do various exercises all at different points.”
In addition to installing the fitness stations and receiving the Outstanding Corporation award, Custom Concrete was the recipient of Indiana’s Healthiest Employers award in 2015.
“We have an entire wellness program at Custom Concrete along with the existence of the trails,” Schrock said. “We want to promote a healthy lifestyle. We want for our company and community to take advantage of the great amenities we have here in Westfield.”
The Greenways Foundation of Indiana describes its Outstanding Corporation award on the website as “over the years, many businesses have come to appreciate trails as true quality of life enhancers for their employees and the communities where they reside. This award recognizes a private corporation in Indiana that has gone the extra mile to support trails and promote their use.”
