Outdoor Fitness Equipment
Outdoor Gyms and Workout Areas
We Know You Want to Improve Community Health
When we speak with parks professionals or campus recreation departments, they ask us, “what can I do to encourage adults to be more active outdoors?" When looking for that answer, they often focus on walking paths and open green spaces, rather than outdoor exercise equipment or outdoor workout areas.
We Build Outdoor Fitness Spaces People Love
We can all agree parks and outdoor spaces are essential for improving the physical and mental health of adults and families. That’s why our answer is purposefully-designed outdoor fitness spaces based on best practice research with exercise in mind. This answers the common question of how to get more adults to be active outdoors, and it can increase overall usage of your outdoor recreation areas.

GameTime provides outdoor fitness equipment to help communities be more active and combat the health risks associated with overweight and obesity. Using a comprehensive portfolio of outdoor fitness products, we apply best practice research to create a complete solution.

Fitness Options for All Abilities
Ken Malloy Harbor Regional Fitness Park
Ken Malloy Harbor Regional Park is the site of one of the largest outdoor fitness parks in the Los Angeles area. It includes three distinct areas of fitness products: standard (bodyweight and motion products, including accessible/inclusive options), therapeutic (designed specifically for users age 55 and up), and elite (advanced training options for athletes). Each fitness area is installed on color-coded safety surfacing and includes instructional signage. Adults and older teens use the park on a regular basis to achieve their health and wellness goals, and personal trainers routinely schedule bootcamp classes and other group fitness sessions.

Picture this: It’s a beautiful Tuesday afternoon – 72 degrees, a slight breeze, and the local foliage fully in bloom – but you’re stuck at work until 5:00. Maybe the end of the day rolls around sooner rather than later, but even then, you’re stuck inside once again, as you promised a friend to work out together at a local gym.
Fortunately, there are other options, such as exercising at an outdoor fitness park. Parents can even work out at these gyms as children play with the adjacent playground equipment.

The Importance of Outdoor Fitness
One benefit to creating outdoor fitness spaces is its appeal across generations. Every age group benefits from engaging with nature, as it decreases overall stress, improves coping abilities, encourages multigenerational interaction, reduces social isolation, enhances relationship-building skills, and improves or maintains cognitive function.
Investing in multigenerational
While building a park in any capacity is valuable, research suggests that outdoor recreation spaces flourish when their design is founded in research, supplemental programming is offered, and stakeholders actively participate in the planning process.
National Demonstration Sites (NDS) are playgrounds that showcase leadership in best practice design, support health-related initiatives, and collect data that stakeholders can use to understand the sites’ impact on the community. Through five distinct categories, the NDS program facilitates the translation of research into practical implementation at local parks.
