Activating New York City with innovative outdoor fitness
How do you meet the needs of retirees, college students, and working moms? At Stuyvesant Town on the lower east side of Manhattan, in New York City, they are doing it with outdoor fitness. StuyTown wanted to modernize its outdoor common space to activate residents of all ages. An asphalt lot used for roller hockey was transformed into a modern outdoor fitness space.
"Outdoor Fitness Equipment has been around for a long time, but it´s not organized or designed in a way as we have done here."
Gail Wittver-Laird, Landscape Architect Starr Whitehouse
Designed to Modernize the Community
StuyTown Fitness Playground combines new innovative equipment and the most popular fitness activities to create an outdoor activity space that can motivate and challenge people of all ages and ability levels. The space is designed with four zones, each separated by different color surfacing and focused on a specific activity with either high or low intensity. A 1/12 mile walking or running loop surrounds the four zones to make the activity space complete. The activities - an outdoor functional training station, cardio machines, strength training, and obstacle course equipment - enable people to develop their balance, strength, and endurance in a full-body workout. It is not only a space where people come to work out as individuals, but it is also a space where they come together as a community with their family, friends, and neighbors.
