Get active and stay healthy

If you’re looking to stay active, check out the new exercise equipment designed for older adults at Wilson Recreation Reserve in Brighton, Illaroo Reserve in Beaumaris and Tibrockney Street Park in Highett.

The new areas feature a range of outdoor equipment designed to provide more health and recreational opportunities for older members of our community.

Bayside Mayor, Cr Hanna El Mouallem said that he is delighted to be able to offer this equipment to assist the older residents of our community.

“We’re committed to providing a broad range of options to help our residents stay active and healthy, and I’m really pleased that this new equipment will help our older residents to get out there and enjoy exercising,” Mayor Cr El Mouallem said.

The fabulous exercise areas feature a range of outdoor equipment for gentle exercise, designed for older people to help improve balance, strength, functional movement, joint range of motion and mobility. Information boards explain the correct use of each item and encourage safe exercising.

The new equipment is co-located within existing playgrounds and parks that provide options for exercise for all ages.
