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
