Toongabbie Outdoor Gym

Toongabbie is a popular stop off point on the Gippsland Plains Rail Trail, and boasts a large treed recreation area in the heart of town. A multi-station outdoor gymnasium would enhance the facility, and provide fitness opportunities for residents and visitors.
The project would provide a warm up and warm down equipment series for walkers, joggers, horse and bicycle riders on the rail trail.
It is ideally situated within walking distance of refreshments and other community facilities, including sporting clubs and primary school. There is no similar facility within a radius of 100km.

Apart from passive recreation areas, such as playgrounds, a golf course, cricket oval, horse riding area and rail trail, there is no centre for active exercise. The several hundred residents, adults and school children, have no opportunity to use equipment to enhance their fitness - with the nearest gymnasium/fitness centre being some 20km distance.
The project involves the construction of ten outdoor exercise stations upon Crown land at the town stopover on the Gippsland Plains Rail Trail. Each station offers a different type of exercise. The equipment is specifically manufactured for outdoor use, and is low maintenance.
