Andebuparken, Norway

The former Sentrumsjordet area in Andebu was significantly upgraded in 2020, introducing a climbing frisbee structure, skate ramps, an outdoor stage, a playground, seasonal ice-skating in winter, and several seating areas. However, parents and carers often remained on the sidelines rather than joining in the play with children and young people.

As part of its public health initiatives, Sandefjord Municipality therefore chose to establish an outdoor fitness area in Andebu. This was developed alongside similar facilities in Stokke, Badeparken and Bugårdsparken in Sandefjord.

The fitness area is divided into four zones, offering opportunities for strength and cardiovascular training, balance exercises, bodyweight workouts and cross training. Regardless of fitness level or ability, users can easily adjust the level of difficulty - either through adjustable resistance or by following the exercises displayed on the equipment signage or in the KOMPAN Fit app.

With its combination of outdoor fitness, skate park, climbing net and playground, Andebu Park encourages people to stay active while socialising - whether with friends or by connecting with new members of the community.

In Andebu Park, KOMPAN, in collaboration with Sandefjord Municipality, has created an inclusive meeting place for activity for all ages - girls and boys alike, regardless of ability.

Here, both individuals and groups can enjoy a workout in a fully equipped outdoor fitness area, located alongside the park’s existing skate ramps, climbing net and playground.

The entire space is designed to ensure equal opportunities for all abilities. Wheelchair-friendly pathways and ground-level activities are integrated throughout the area, making the playground, climbing net and fitness zone accessible and welcoming to everyone.
