New activity area became Varkaus' new focal point

The new area gravitates people from the whole community and invites residents to be active in a social environment. KOMPAN’s Combi 3 structure gives users of all ages the complete outdoor calisthenics experience, featuring all essential elements for a full-body workout. KOMPAN’s outdoor gym station the Suspension Trainer offers no less than 49 different exercises on which all muscle groups can be trained. This place provides a wonderful area for the whole family to spent time. While the grownups are working out, the children can explore the playground with the big Medite Frame Net. The Medite Frame Net offers a wild climbing experience and helps develop important motor skills such as proprioception and cross-body coordination.
