As a person who’s always saying I need to exercise more but never doing it, I really appreciate the genius of a fitness park. Something about the word “park” just makes it more enticing than, “the gym.”

Unlike the gym, Rotary Park in Newark is free, fun for the whole family, and outdoors. Kids can play on the equipment while their parents improve their fitness.

The equipment is accessible to everyone, including those with mobility limitations.

Rotary Park has 2-person, 3-person, and 4-person equipment, which makes it more social than the average fitness room, and you can find something to develop a variety of different muscles.

Here are just a few of the pieces of equipment that you can find:

3-person Static Combo

This equipment is mainly designed for a muscle workout. You can do pull-ups, dips, sit-ups, leg raises, or stretches to strengthen your chest, shoulders, abs, forearms, and triceps.

2-Person Cross Country Ski

The Cross Country Ski strengthens leg muscles and boosts cardiovascular endurance. It can also improve agility.

2-Person Chest Press

This piece is accessible for people of all levels of mobility. It can strengthen your chest, shoulders, upper and mid abs, forearms, and triceps.

And there’s much more!

Anyone can come here to do workouts. People of all ages and all levels of mobility can enjoy it, and you don’t even have to pay a membership fee!
