Outdoor Gyms in Australia
Outdoor fitness equipment is a familiar feature of Australian parks, beachfronts and coastal reserves, typically funded by local councils as part of active-living and public health programmes, and increasingly by developers in new residential estates. Permanent outdoor equipment is commonly specified to the EN 16630 European standard. Provision ranges from free foreshore and park stations to larger, zoned Outdoor Fitness Club facilities.
Across Australia, permanently installed outdoor fitness equipment is built to the EN 16630 safety standard, and ranges from simple bodyweight stations to adjustable-load equipment. New to it? Start with what an outdoor gym is and our outdoor training guide.
