Ashburton Park is one of the 4 locations where we proposed new outdoor fitness equipment to be installed. The proposed site for the new outdoor fitness equipment is on the Fakenham Road side of the oval, next to the playground and between the trees.

Feedback from our community

We sought community feedback on our proposal to install the new outdoor fitness equipment at Ashburton Park. The community feedback survey was open from 17 March to 3 April 2022. We would like to thank the 72 people who completed this survey for their feedback.

Out of those who completed the survey, 91.7% of people supported the new outdoor fitness equipment being installed at this location.

We also heard from 17 people that they would like pull-up bars or other static strength equipment.

What we will deliver at Ashburton Park

At Ashburton Park, we provided a mix of strength and cardio equipment including:

  • a Leg Press to engage the user’s core and lower body
  • an Aerobic Cycle and Elliptical Trainer to increase cardio fitness and full body strength
  • a Sit-up Bench to strengthen the core
  • a Body Twist, Chest Press and Pull-Down machine for a more challenging workout
  • stand-alone Pull-up Bars at 2 different heights, which we added to the design based on feedback during community consultation.

The colour for the equipment is blue and charcoal. It also has a grey rubber under surface.

We also added a new seat and gravel path that links the equipment to the playground. The size of the equipment area is around 75 meters squared.

The equipment was installed on the Fakenham Road side of Ashburton Park.

The equipment is designed to suit a range of ages and abilities.

What we will deliver at the other locations
