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. Eligible projects qualify for usage analysis to help you determine the effectiveness of your space with real data.

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.
