Art and creativity have always formed a key part of the Garden City Principles, upon which Ebbsfleet is being delivered.
Ebbsfleet Development Corporation has created a public art trail using the BetterPoints app to encourage people to get outside, be active, and enjoy the benefits of fresh air. By combining art with physical activity, this initiative makes it easy for individuals to explore public art installations while promoting health and well-being.
From January to March you have the opportunity to admire each piece and collect BetterPoints bonuses too.
Plus, you could win a Batribike Dart 3 e-bike or £100 in BetterPoints to spend when you get active.
How to earn the bonuses:
🚶🏾♂️🚴🏾♀️ Download the BetterPoints app and walk, wheel, run or cycle at least a quarter of a mile to each of the pieces of art, and then you will earn a bonus of 100 BetterPoints once you confirm your activity in the app.
Enter the in-app prize draw to win an e-bike of £100 in BetterPoints. Then to increase your chances of winning, record as many activities over quarter of a mile in the challenge area until 31 March.
The winners will be announced in April.
