Riverside outdoor gym

We the undersigned petition the council We are asking the Cambridge City Council to consider installing calisthenics outdoor gyms/exercise stations in Logan’s Meadow, Stourbridge Common or Riverside Place area to make the area fitness friendly and help residents to stay healthy every day.

The Cambridge Riverside area does not have a single complete outdoor gym. For such a big number of residents and so many tourists who regularly visit the area, there is no way we do not have access to a traditional outdoor gym which is a normal practice in so many countries in the world.
We believe pull up bars, dip bars and basic outdoor exercise equipment encourages fitness and health among the community and provides free workout options for those without a gym membership. It also provides an alternative form of outdoors exercise for those who do attend gyms.
We are asking the Cambridge City Council to consider installing calisthenics outdoor gyms/exercise stations in Logan’s Meadow, Stourbridge Common or Riverside Place area to make the area fitness friendly and help residents to stay healthy every day.
The Cambridge City Council has done a great job installing children's playgrounds and skate parks throughout the Chesterton area but unfortunately has not given the same effort to outdoor exercise facilities. The closest outdoor gym is at Abbey Leisure area.
The Cambridge Riverside is home to a large health conscious & active lifestyle community including but not limited to runners, cyclists, yoga and gym goers. It is highly likely outdoor exercise equipment would be utilized by the broad community.
Any input is welcome including specifics about the locations and type of equipment to be installed.
Equipment to be installed:
- Pull up bars of various heights
- Dip bars
- Monkey bars
- Plyo boxes of various heights

Potential Locations (3):
- Logan’s Meadow
- Stourbridge Common
- Riverside Place Area
