Calisthenics Parks

Calisthenics Parks

Calisthenics is a form of physical training, which focuses on teaching you to master your own body weight, using minimal equipment.The aim of these calisthenic area installations is to empower people to create healthy habits, enabling them to improve their own physical and mental well-being, through exercising in a public park.

South Dublin County Council amongst others sees Calisthenics as a very effective addition to the Urban Realm to improve health and recreation facilities.

We have several installations to reference where we have carried out the role of equipment supplier installer and Main Contractor for the installation and associated site works. We design the layout in consultation with the client and with specific reference to ROSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) who are the certifying body for Sports and Play Equipment facilities. We will provide a programme of works together with a site specific Health and Safety Plan on a recent project we completed the following works in addition to the equipment installation
