Outdoor Gym Equipment for Parks

An outdoor fitness site with the right equipment offers your community the same high-quality workout as a traditional indoor gym—only better, because it's in the fresh air and free to use! When paired with a playground, parents can build up a sweat while their children burn off their energy, creating a family-friendly space for fitness, community, and fun. With so many different types of outdoor gym equipment available, finding the ideal solution for your fitness site can be challenging.

A New Standard - Designing Greener Playgrounds

Customer case

Ramsden Park, Toronto, Canada

The landscape architect behind the new playground in Ramsden Park, Toronto, had the vision to create something new and exciting, but through including something old. By old, she meant incorporating both the city’s heritage and some time-tested favorites from the existing KOMPAN playground. The new playground uses yellow colors and themes from Toronto’s history of brick and has maintained several of the timeless play items from the old playground, like the iconic Crazy Hen. After giving years of pleasure in its former location, the first of the revolutionary springers is still in great shape and has become part of the new playground.

Lincoln Park, Boston, USA

The densely populated city of Somerville, MA has limited space for outdoor activities. So, a creative solution was needed to develop an area where residents of all age groups could socialize and become active.

Lincoln Park, the largest city-owned park in Sommerville, began its development with KOMPAN and the local residents to design a playground that incorporated the ability to engage with other community residents, adventurous play, and the ability for the playground to integrate with the surrounding natural environment.
