4. Surfacing

With ASTM updates for surfacing requirements, appropriate surfacing is becoming more common in the fitness park setting. Be sure you understand these standards so that your park is compliant and safe for your community to exercise. 

5. Site Amenities

To make your fitness park more comfortable, be sure to add site amenities like picnic tables, benches, trash receptacles, bike parking, and water fountains. Any of these additions to a fitness park can help. Contact us for more information on these products.

The outdoors provides a lot of great benefits, but it also exposes your patrons to harsh sunlight. Another great addition to your fitness park is a functional shade option.
