Outdoor Fitness Area at Dawley Park, Telford

Outdoor Gym Design for Parks in Telford

Sunshine Gym was commissioned to deliver a new outdoor fitness area at Dawley Park, Telford. This project demonstrates our expertise in outdoor gym design for parks, transforming green spaces into engaging, accessible facilities that support community wellbeing.

By installing durable outdoor gym equipment, we worked with local partners to enhance the appeal of Dawley Park and provide a modern fitness option alongside existing leisure facilities.

Outdoor Fitness Area for All Ages

The installation at Dawley Park Telford gives residents free access to a purpose-built outdoor fitness area designed for daily use. Positioned close to walking routes and community amenities, it offers opportunities for adults, families, and groups to enjoy exercise in the fresh air.

By combining cardio and strength equipment, the gym supports varied workouts, making it suitable for everyone from casual walkers to regular fitness enthusiasts.

Outdoor Gym Design for Community Parks

This project highlights Sunshine Gym’s skill in outdoor gym design for parks, creating spaces that are functional, safe, and cost-effective for councils. The Dawley Park installation complements nearby facilities such as Dawley Leisure Centre, providing residents with a choice of exercise environments.

For many searching for outdoor gyms near me or parks with exercise equipment near me, the Dawley Park facility delivers a convenient, free-to-use option. This makes physical activity more accessible, reducing reliance on traditional paid gyms.

Supporting Local Health and Wellbeing

The outdoor gym forms part of a wider strategy to encourage active lifestyles across Telford. By integrating exercise equipment into a well-loved public park, stakeholders have created a space that supports public health objectives and increases engagement with green spaces.

The project also ties into initiatives such as the local guide program, helping to showcase Dawley Park as a community landmark and a destination for outdoor activity.

Long-Term Benefits of Outdoor Fitness Areas

By investing in a new outdoor fitness area, Telford stakeholders have created a lasting community resource. The facility not only improves opportunities for exercise but also adds value to the wider park, making it more attractive for visitors of all ages.

This project reinforces the importance of high-quality outdoor gym design for parks in improving local amenities and supporting wellbeing goals. Sunshine Gym continues to work with councils across the UK to deliver similar solutions that bring lasting benefits to communities.

Outdoor fitness equipment such as the Double Slalom Skier is a sociable piece of equipment that can be used by two people of any ability. Using this machine for just a short amount of time can strengthen the muscles in the lower body as well as being a great cardiovascular workout. You set your own pace so whether it is a high or a low impact workout it is up to you making it a great way to improve your fitness.

The idea for the park came from Viv Chalmers of Sanctuary Supported Living Group, who specialise in helping people who live with learning difficulties and other disabilities. The project was commissioned by Councillor Derek Owen of Telford and Wrekin Council. The park was then opened by the Mayor of Dawley and after the success of the outdoor fitness area, Viv Chalmers is pushing to get more equipment added hoping to make it the biggest outdoor fitness area in the West Midlands.
