Outdoor Fitness Equipment at Bishop Park

I would like to propose the installation of an inclusive outdoor fitness station at Bishop Park, with durable equipment that supports strength, mobility, cardio, balance, and low-impact exercise for adults and older residents.
Suggested equipment could include a sit-up bench, an adult arm and pedal bike, a leg press station, and a low-impact rebounder with handholds or support rails, designed specifically for safe public-park fitness use. Together, these would provide options for core strength, seated cardio, upper- and lower-body movement, leg strengthening, balance, coordination, and gentle exercise.
This would give residents a free, accessible, outdoor way to stay active close to home. It would be especially useful for adults, seniors, walkers, caregivers, and residents who may not have easy access to a gym or indoor recreation facility. The equipment should be selected with accessibility, safety, durability, and year-round maintenance in mind.
Suggested equipment: sit-up bench, adult arm and pedal bike, leg press station, and low-impact rebounder with handholds/support rails.
