The Trussville City Council on Tuesday approved $7,700 to purchase gymnastics equipment.
The equipment is being purchased from Tom Brown for $3,500 and from Jefferson County Community Education for $4,200.
Trussville Parks and Recreation Director David Vinson said the equipment, if bought new, would cost between $90,000 and $100,000.
The city council is hoping for a gymnastics academy to open in Trussville in the near future.
