Big Green Gym
The Lancaster Recreation Commission has created the Big Green Gym as an innovative, no-cost way for residents to complete workouts in our parks! They have designed self-guided workouts using existing recreation facilities and park equipment in Brandon Park, Buchanan Park, Culliton Park, Crystal Park, Reservoir Park, Rodney Park, and Sixth Ward Park. They provide directions and pictures demonstrating each exercise to make the workouts appropriate for any level of fitness. Exercises, in circuit format, are designed to give you a full-body workout. Exercises include bodyweight rows, calf raises, push-ups, jump squats, arm dips, planks, wall sits and seated leg tucks and vary depending on the features at each park.
