The Lake Charm Fitness loop will be designed for a wide range of ages and abilities, to be more than an walking track. This is much needed modern community infrastructure.
Each item of equipment on the loop allows flexibility to cater to the various strength, fitness and agility levels of the locals and tourists using it.
With our ageing population it is increasingly important to provide local opportunities for seniors to exercise to maintain bone density, dexterity and mobility. It will also entice younger people to become more involved. Designed in pods of three, communication and joint activities are encouraged.

The Kerang Lakes Community have been collaborating over a period of time to identify key needs and priorities for the area develop plan. Outdoor fitness stations is one identified project that will be an alternative way to connect people in this area of all ages and abilities. It will encourage regular exercise and healthy living, through an inviting, understandable, fun and sufficiently challenging, safe and built 'tough to last' exercise loop. Locals and visitors will benefit from the equipment in a shared, central location. The community will continue to extend the options as they raise more funds. This is stage1

What a great idea! I would use this all the time instead of walking along the road. Much safer for family as cars are generally going unnecessarily quick

This will attract people to the area this land can be made very aesthetically pleasant the Landcare Group have already done a great job in cleaning it up. Is it envisaged that a vehicle parking facility will be included or is an informal vehicle access to continue? Maybe the vehicle access track can be either formalized or eliminated??

It would be great to see a widely identified community project validated in such a small community. Its an inclusive project that will be built on.

Great idea for a community often forgotten by the local shire.
