read moreWith new outdoor fitness stations are planned for the north and southside of Canberra, ACT Minister for Territory and Municipal Services, Shane Rattenbury, has invited the public to help design the new facilities.
The invitation extends Canberra’s Find Fitness Outdoors campaign which this year challenged Canberrans to get outdoors and exercise through free fitness sessions with qualified instructors and by sharing their fitness journey on social media.
Inviting the design input, Minister Rattenbury stated “Yerrabi Pond District Park in Gungahlin and Eddison Park in Phillip will each receive new outdoor gyms, but the types of equipment they will include and where in the parks they will be located is yet to be decided.
“We would like the community’s input on what sort of equipment they would like for each of the new outdoor gyms, whether that be chin up bars, stationary bikes or leg press machine – we want you to help design your local gym.
“We are also seeking feedback on the sites proposed for the fitness stations within the parks. Three site options are proposed for Yerrabi Pond District Park and two are proposed for Eddison Park.
“A similar consultation was held in late 2014 for new outdoor fitness stations in Tuggeranong, Belconnen and Theodore which saw equipment such as an aerobic walker, parallel bars, leg press, trapeze rings and an overhead challenge installed at the facilities.”
Minister Rattenbury said the new fitness stations will expand the ACT Government’s network of fitness equipment which is featured in 20 Canberra suburbs.
He added “the ACT Government is investing $120,000 in the project as part of the Healthy Weight Initiative which aims to support Canberrans making healthy choices and leading healthy, active lives.
“The ACT Government is working towards a more strategic approach to coordinating and encouraging recreational activities across Canberra and, as both Minister for Sport and Recreation and Territory and Municipal Services, I’m really pleased to be progressing a number of projects to create a healthier, more active Canberra.”
Those wishing to help design the new fitness stations planned for Yerrabi Pond District Park and Eddison Park are invited to complete an online survey at www.timetotalk.act.gov.au
Those wanting to share their fitness journey can do so on social media using the hashtag #CBRoutdoors.
