Seniors exercise park
A dedicated seniors exercise park was built in 2022. The seniors exercise park features a range of equipment designed to help older people improve balance, strength, functional movement and joint motion and mobility.
We’re running Come and Try sessions at the seniors exercise park on Tuesday and Friday mornings between 9:30 am to 11 am.
These sessions will be run by a group of 11 volunteers from the community who have undertaken training with the National Ageing Research Institute (NARI). You can find out more about these sessions on our Join our Come and Try sessions at the new Seniors Exercise Park page.
