Using Outdoor Gyms

Learn where your closest outdoor gym is and how to use it.

People are exercising in a park, utilizing outdoor gym equipment amidst greenery and trees.

We have 35 outdoor fitness gyms around our City, meaning there is one only a short walk or drive away from every household.

Our popular outdoor gyms suit all fitness levels and helps our residents to get outside and healthy together for free. The outdoor gyms have both static and dynamic gyms equipment:

  • Static fitness equipment has no moving parts
  • Dynamic fitness equipment has moving parts that engage your bodyweight to build strength.

Fitness Classes and Boot Camps

Fairfield City Council supports exercise and activities to improve the fitness of the community, although it does not recommend or endorse any trainer or training methods and accepts no responsibility for the actions of trainers.

Community members are advised that when participating in commercially provided fitness training, that they should ensure the operator is appropriately qualified and holds the recommended level of public liability insurance.

Where an instructor/group wishes to use Council hire facilities, an application for hire is required to be lodged (fee applies).

Similarly, if lighting or equipment is being erected in open spaces/reserves, the hire of the site must be secured.

Hire for commercial fitness training is subject to availability of grounds, which in Fairfield City are used heavily.

Further information is available by contacting Council’s Customer Service Centre on 9725 0222.
