Outdoor Gym
The Outdoor Gym situated in the Pedestal Playing Field provides somewhere for local residents to enjoy the benefits to both physical and mental health of exercising in the open air, either individually or in the company of others; it is intended for use by adults of all ages and the range of equipment reflects this.
Anyone using the equipment must read these instructions first. Each piece of equipment is also labelled with instructions for use, and the manufacturers have created an app for Android devices that includes user and workout guides, available via Google Play and the App Store.
If you are in any doubt about your health or level of physical fitness consult a doctor or fitness professional before using the equipment.
The equipment is not suitable for anyone under 1.4m (4 feet 7 inches) tall.
The equipment is not designed or intended for play.
Gym users should respect local residents by not playing loud music and only using the equipment during daylight hours.
In the interest of safety, no dogs, glass or alcohol should be brought into the gym area.
Users of the gym equipment do so at their own risk.
West Wycombe Parish Council does not accept any liability for loss or injury caused by the use of the gym equipment.
Do not use any equipment if it appears to be damaged or malfunctioning - please report this to the Parish Clerk or telephone 01494 448048.
