Why is this area being addressed?

Riley Park features an wide pathway around its perimeter and a playground on the SW corner.

To leverage these existing amenities, fitness equipment complete with fall surfacing will be placed adjacent.

Parents who are taking their children to the playground could use the equipment or fitness classes could utilize it for bootcamps.

This encourages extended use of this space for people visiting the park.


What are our goals for the design of this area?

  • Equipment is accessible (fall surfacing is ADA compliant and connected to pathway).
  • Equipment provides a versatile number of types of workouts (arms, legs, back, etc.).
  • Equipment is low maintenance (preferably static equipment rather than dynamic).
  • Equipment is fun and encourages people to use it (e.g. monkey bars, bamboo shoots, etc.).
