The Trust for Public Land has installed outdoor fitness equipment at numerous parks across the country, with many more in the works. These “fitness zones” provide free access to gym equipment that anyone, from athletes to the elderly, is welcome to use. Some zones even comply with ADA standards (American with Disabilities Act).
Many fitness zones are located in areas where gym memberships are really expensive, or where such facilities don’t even exist. They provide a place where neighbors can come together and get healthy.
If you’re looking for a fun, easy way to engage in physical activity, learn more at TPL.org.
