Open spaces have the potential to transform lives, but how do we help those of varying ages, abilities, and interests reap the benefits of increased health and social connection? Outdoor exercise equipment serves as a way to engage those commonly left on the sidelines of recreational activities in open spaces, such as teens, parents, older adults, and people in wheelchairs. However, to truly shape a community through outdoor fitness equipment, one must thoughtfully design a space that considers community demographics, accessibility, social components, site conditions, user experience, and long-term performance. This session explores the growing need for outdoor fitness equipment and the role fresh-air gyms can play in improving health, wellness, and social connection for people of varying ages, abilities, and interests. Participants will learn how to assess community needs, select fitness solutions accordingly, and apply design strategies that increase participation and long-term success. Through real-world case studies, attendees will gain actionable strategies for creating outdoor workout spaces that deliver lasting community value.
