Visiting from out of town, I was looking for a good place to get in my fitness component, while visiting family at Christmas.
I am an advanced single track trail runner from Muskoka, and as I found, any decent looking trails (in the Chatham area) were a good drive from my downtown location.
I was told of this local park from a dog walker. I assumed when going, I'd just be doing some paved path moderate running. Well, to my surprise:) .. this park offers much, much MORE! As a 49 yr old back country trail runner, agility and strength training is very important to me. What I thought would be a casual maintenance fitness day turned into a aggressive afternoon of great fun and challenge. There is plenty in this urban park to get in a full outdoor workout. Hills, steps and long stretch raised curbs made this an exciting little park for doing my thing. I loved it so much, I had to go back... on the same day, lol.
With a little creativity, I was able to walk out of this park satisfied, as I ever am running my favourite glorious home trails.
I was pleasantly surprised!
This is a nice little Chatham outdoor fitness park, for those looking for any level of workout challenge, a destination for kids to play, or to just go for a casual walk. This park has it all covered!
This is kind of a bad analogy for the health minded post I'm leaving here.. but I was a kid in a candy store!
