YNDC and City Parks Department Reveal Two Outdoor Fitness Stations


Thursday, September 22, 2016

YNDC and the City Parks Department held ribbon cuttings today for two outdoor fitness stations that were recently installed at Homestead and Glenwood Parks on the South Side.

The stations feature equipment typically found in gyms, such as elliptical machines, stationary bicycles, and chest presses. The equipment is designed for outdoor use. The goal of the stations is to increase physical activity and fitness, particularly among youth. The two parks were chosen because of the high density of youth nearby. The stations were funded by the William Swanston Charitable Fund and the Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley.
