Area: Whitby Waterfront
Age Range: 12 years old and up
Installed: 2012 - Durham's 1st ever outdoor Fitness park!
Parking: plenty in the parking lot off of Water St
Ground Cover: mulch
Main Equipment:
Accessibility Features: one piece is stated to accommodate a wheelchair
Facilities/Other:
Surrounding Park Area: located on the beautiful waterfront trail with equipment facing directly towards a serene lake view
Seating: none in the immediate area
Shade: a lot of morning shade offered by the surrounding trees
Overall assessment: This is a great addition to the Whitby waterfront as it provides an additional fitness element to your daily run on the beach; or if you're like me you can check it out once in a while when you feel guilty about those extra donuts with your double double. This park is meant for those 12 years old and up, however, two elliptical machines state 15 years old and up. The fitness equipment is arranged in a circuit pattern but is not necessarily meant as one since there are 4 elliptical machines side by side. A neat feature is that some of the equipment have a QR barcode to scan with your smartphone for further instructions. (*NOTE it is recommended not to use the equipment when it is wet.)
