A workout with a view

Our main outdoor gym is next to He Ara Kotahi Bridge, off Dittmer Drive. While you’re walking or biking along the river, you can stop and do a workout in this popular, well-lit spot.

The gym features mobile platforms that we can move if needed. You'll find equipment for arms, legs, glutes, abs, and much more.

Opened in July 2024, this gym is a part of our Manawatū River Framework. The framework aims to get more people visiting and enjoying the river each year. 

You can also find fixed gym equipment at Edwards Pit Park, Papaioea Park, and Takaro Park. Albeit on a smaller scale!

Enjoy our pop-up gyms across the city

Our pop-up gyms move around the city, offering convenient access to fitness equipment. Currently, you can find one at Milverton Park, one at Rangitāne Park, and two more at Ashhurst Domain.
