Expanding Outdoor Fitness Opportunities in Victoria Park
Following the success of other park gyms, Stoke-on-Trent City Council and the Trust at Tunstall Park commissioned Sunshine Gym to install outdoor fitness equipment for adults.
Following the success of other park gyms across the city, Stoke-on-Trent City Council and the Trust at Tunstall Park commissioned Sunshine Gym to supply and install a new outdoor gym in Victoria Park, Stoke-on-Trent. The goal was to introduce inclusive, accessible fitness equipment for adults that would encourage the local community to stay active.
This project demonstrates the impact of installing durable public park gym equipment that can be installed efficiently, offer long-term durability, and provide excellent value. Sunshine Gym has developed a reputation for working closely with public realm stakeholders to deliver solutions that meet both health and wellbeing objectives.
Flexible Outdoor Fitness Packages for Parks and Green Spaces
At Sunshine Gym, we provide a choice of pre-designed outdoor fitness packages as well as a “mix & match” option. This gives councils, schools, and leisure providers the flexibility to create a gym layout that suits their location, budget, and user needs. For the Victoria Park outdoor gym, the Trust selected a bespoke combination of units that ensured variety, sociability, and strong capacity levels.
The final layout included seven outdoor gym machines, carefully positioned so that up to fourteen people can work out simultaneously. This maximises the efficiency of the space while providing equal opportunities for all users to exercise at their own pace.
Professional Installation and Surfacing
Sunshine Gym not only provided the equipment but also delivered professional installation and durable tarmac surfacing. This ensures the outdoor gym is low-maintenance, weather-resistant, and built to last. For local authorities investing in outdoor fitness facilities, long-term performance and safety are essential. Sunshine Gym’s approach guarantees that every installation is designed for years of use by residents and visitors alike.
Safety and Accessibility: Key Features of Sunshine Gym Equipment
One of the standout features of all Sunshine Gym equipment is the unique safety-stop system. With no in-built resistance, the units are easy to use, safe for all abilities, and reduce the risk of injury. This makes them suitable for both first-time users and regular exercisers. For councils prioritising inclusivity, this ensures outdoor gyms remain accessible to a wide demographic.
The Equipment Installed at Victoria Park, Tunstall
Each piece of outdoor fitness equipment was carefully chosen to provide a balance of strength, cardio, and flexibility exercises.
The Leg Stretch
Ideal for warming up or cooling down, the Leg Stretch unit allows users to improve flexibility and prepare for a safe workout.
The Double Squat Push
Replicating the motion of a leg press, the Double Squat Push develops lower body strength and is designed for use by two people at once.
The Sky Stepper
The Sky Stepper cross-trainer is one of the most popular choices in outdoor gyms. It provides a low-impact cardiovascular workout that is instantly recognisable to gym-goers.
The Double Slalom Skier
This unit offers variety by replicating the movement of skiing. It’s effective for balance, coordination, and full-body engagement.
The Double Health Walker
The Health Walker delivers cardiovascular benefits similar to jogging but without the impact on joints. For parks popular with walkers, it provides a new way to engage in gentle but effective exercise.
The Combi Pull Down Challenger & Power Push
This versatile combination unit strengthens upper body muscles through pull-down and push movements, similar to traditional chest press exercises.
The Parallel Rails
For advanced users, the Parallel Rails offer a bodyweight challenge that builds upper body and core strength.
Community Benefits of the Victoria Park Outdoor Gym
The addition of this outdoor gym in Tunstall Park provides residents with an accessible, free-to-use facility that promotes healthier lifestyles. Local users now have the option to exercise outdoors, in groups or individually, helping to create a more active community. The social aspect of training in public spaces also strengthens community ties and encourages repeat use.
For decision-makers considering similar projects, outdoor gyms represent a cost-effective way to deliver measurable health and wellbeing improvements while enhancing the attractiveness of parks and green spaces.
