DISCUSSION In October 2012, the Pacific Electric Bike Trail Exercise Zone on Maple and Occidental was opened. It has been a great success and well received by the public. This exercise outdoor gym is used every day by residents of all ages. This project was made possible by a competitive trail grant. In October 2014, we opened the Birch Park Exercise Zone. This project is also very successful with seniors, and residents of all ages using this outside gym on a daily basis. This project was completed very economically through the Adopt -A -Park method. With city staff, donated funds from city employees, and volunteers coming together this project was able to become a reality. At this time, through a federal grant, the Garfield Exercise Park is being constructed and will offer the City's third outside gym. The City is fortunate to partner with America On Track who is providing a generous donation of $45,000 that will be used to purchase high - quality outdoor fitness gym equipment and a shade structure at Memorial Park. This project will be accomplished through the Adopt -A -Park method, where city staff, donated monies, and volunteers will be used to add the City's fourth outside gym. America On Track, is an award - winning 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a track record of providing great mentoring, fitness and nutrition, and youth leadership development to the community. The America On Track donation is made possible by their Carol M. White Physical Education Program grant. 20A -1
