South Park's new outdoor gym
Hammersmith & Fulham has built a new state-of-the-art outdoor gym in Fulham’s South Park.
The gym is the seventh of its kind in the borough, and the perfect spot for anyone looking for a fun, free workout.
So, grab your trainers and head on down.
Sun’s out, sweat on
Found next to the cricket nets, the award-winning park's gym focuses on cardio and body weight workouts. It includes equipment for step ups, pull ups and sit ups, and has body twist, rower and dip stations.
There’s also an accessible chest press and lat pull combination machine and a hand bike.
Younger fitness enthusiasts can join in the fun with the space walker, skier and exercise bike. And, if you want to enhance your workout, the new Swing Fitness box, filled with a variety of dumbbell pairs, is the equipment for you.
This site also includes a designated warm up zone – complete with exercise suggestions to get you inspired.
You asked, we listened
Eighty-two per cent of residents voted for an outdoor gym in our 2022 South Park public consultation.
We’ve installed the most popular pieces of equipment from this consultation and have designed the site with the help of the Friends of South Park.
Ready, sweat, go!
There are six other outdoor park gyms in H&F, perfect for getting your endorphins pumping. They are in:
- Bishops Park, Bishop’s Avenue, Fulham, SW6 6EA
- Normand Park, Bramber Road, Fulham, W14 9PB
- Rowberry Mead, Thames Pathway, Fulham, SW6 6PE
- Upper Mall Open Space, Upper Mall, Hammersmith, W6 9T
- Wormwood Scrubs, White City, W12 0DF.
There are two gyms on the Scrubs. One by Braybrook Street and one near to the Linford Christie Stadium.
And if gyms aren’t for you, you can still enjoy our award winning green flag parks and open spaces for your dose of natural beauty.
Whether you fancy a walk round Ravenscourt Park’s pond or a trip to Margravine Cemetery’s war memorials, there’s something for everyone.
