Health and fitness boost: four outdoor exercise sites on the way

Campbelltown residents could soon be members of one of the fittest local government areas in the Sydney metropolitan area.

A new suite of outdoor fitness equipment is being delivered across Campbelltown to support active, healthy lifestyles.

Once complete our residents will have more reasons to head outside and get moving.

Construction is now under way at four locations as part of the council’s outdoor fitness facilities program.

The program aim is to create free, accessible spaces that make it easier for people of all ages and abilities to stay active in their local neighbourhoods.

“The new equipment across the four locations is all about making it easier for our community to get out and make the most of our local parks,” says the Mayor of Campbelltown, Darcy Lound.

“This project ensures residents have access to free fitness equipment, supporting overall health and wellbeing for everyone in Campbelltown,” said Cr Lound.

The outdoor fitness facilities program is funded by the NSW Government through the Western Sydney infrastructure grants program.

“There’s not too many better partnerships than the State Government and Council working together to deliver great projects, and this is another example of that.

‘This is something that Campbelltown not only needs but deserves, and our children will get much benefit out of it as well as other members of the community,’’ Mayor Lound said.

“It’s particularly enlightening to see investment going into supporting our local community getting out and exercising for free in a public place,” said Greg Warren, the State Member for Campbelltown.

The four locations are in Eagle Farm Reserve, Eagle Vale, Ophelia Reserve, Rosemeadow, Clematis Reserve, Macquarie Fields and Marsden Park in the centre of Campbelltown, pictured above.

Marsden Park last received an update on its outdoor exercise equipment 10 years ago.
