Sydney Park
Sydney Park comes in at number one, for our ‘Best of the Inner West Outdoor Gyms’.
As the main hub for calisthenics in the Inner West, the outdoor gym is broken into 3 small areas with a good variety of equipment allowing for a great outdoor workout. Some of the awesome features of this outdoor gym include:
· Rubber flooring > no dirty wood chips getting stuck in your shoes
· A good variety of pull-up bars at different heights
· Parallel / dip bars
· Various sit-up benches with different inclines
· Lots of instructional signs on equipment
Sydney Park also has:
· The famous 5km Sydney Park Run, more info here.
· Good hills for sprints (near the Alan Davidson Oval and Sydney Park Road car park)
Check out next week, when we review Camperdown Park / Outdoor Gym.
