Ivanhoe seniors exercise park
Published on 05 October 2021
Being active is important for your health at any age.
To cater for older adults, we have added another dimension to Ivanhoe Park by installing a new seniors exercise park.
Adjacent to the new playground, the park offers a range of equipment specifically designed to improve the strength, balance, flexibility and mobility of older adults.
There are instructional signs at the park, plus you can also use your mobile phone to scan a QR code that will direct you to a website with instructions and videos.
New come and try dates are coming soon!
Meet trained staff on site who will assist with the correct use of the equipment.
Why use the seniors exercise park?
- Helps improve your balance, strength, functional movement, range of motion and mobility.
- It has some unstable surfaces that challenge balance, and promote core strength.
- It's a great way to socialise and have some fun in the outdoors.
- It's easy and free to use!
