Coogee residents have another free venue to use to elevate their fitness regimen following the opening of a new outdoor gym in Neptune Park. It’s now the sixth public outdoor gym built by Randwick City Council, after Maroubra, Kensington, Frenchmans Bay, Clovelly and Chifley.
Located at the corner of Neptune Street and Wolseley Road, the outdoor gym overlooks the gorgeous Coogee Bay and it’s a few steps away from the Coastal Walkway.
The facilities complete the consultation conducted in 2019, where residents presented plans to build a gym with a variety of exercise equipment for people of all ages. Following its construction in early 2021, locals may now take advantage of the following gym features:
- Aerobic Cycle
- Leg press
- Chest Press
- Elliptical Trainer
- Parallel Bars
- Pull up Bar
- Leg Raises
- Body Dips
- Roman Rings
- Sit up bench
- Step up station
Neptune Park is still undergoing redevelopment with the planting of 3,000 low-lying native shrubs and trees as a sanctuary for native birds.
Before this outdoor gym opened, residents told Council that they don’t visit the area since it had nothing interesting and lacked shade or trees. Now, there’s more than one reason to maximise the use of the park, especially after the garden sanctuary is finished.
