A new outdoor gym, featuring five pieces of specially designed fitness equipment, has opened at Clarendon Park in Hinckley, offering free access to residents of all abilities.

The Borough Council funded and installed the new facility, which is accessible in all weather conditions and suitable for individuals aged 14 and over, regardless of their fitness level, age, or ability. It is also accessible to wheelchair users.
Each piece of equipment offers a range of exercises, allowing users to work out at their own pace. This new addition marks the 16th outdoor gym available in parks across the borough, promoting health and wellbeing benefits such as improved fitness, muscle and bone health, and positive mental wellbeing.

I'm pleased to let everyone know that we've installed a brand-new outdoor gym at Clarendon Park. The equipment is free to use and for children aged 14+ and all adults and abilities. To help get active, enjoy some fresh air and improve their health and wellbeing. Whether you want to build strength, improve your fitness, stay mobile or simply try something new, there's something for everyone. So why not come along, give it a try, and see how the new outdoor gym can help us all stay active and healthy. We hope you enjoy it!

Executive Member for Parks and Outdoor Spaces, Cllr Lynda Hodgkins, expressed her enthusiasm for the new facility, highlighting its benefits for strength building, fitness improvement, and general wellbeing.
