A Dynamic Fitness Destination for Sports and Exercise

As part of Carden Park's multi-phase playground, sports, and fitness improvement plan, Brighton and Hove City Council set out to install a free outdoor fitness area for the community.

The new fitness destination needed to:

  • Deliver a high-quality workout experience comparable to an indoor gym

  • Feature state-of-the-art equipment accessible to users of all abilities, including wheelchair users

  • Offer progressive training options that support users as they build strength and improve their fitness

  • Provide durable, low-maintenance equipment designed for long-term performance

Carden Park Fitness

"It’s probably as close as you’d get to a proper gym in an outdoor facility. You’ve got more space, the fresh air, which is actually better, and the ability to run errands, meet friends, and easily train together. You could even set up your own classes here. There are loads of opportunities, and it’s really great for the community."

Naomi Swales,

Personal Trainer at Freedom Leisure
