Callisthenics (body-weight exercises) is a popular alternative to crowded and expensive gyms. Outdoor gyms benefit local communities by providing equipment and space for residents to improve their health and fitness, without the necessity of spending money on gym memberships.
Unfortunately, there is only one, poorly-equipped callisthenics gym in Edinburgh, located in Inverleith Park.
The aim of this petition is to convince the City Council to build more outdoor callisthenics gyms in city's green spaces, such as: Montgomery Street Park, Hillside Crescent, The Meadows, and other suitable locations. - Petition Status
