Work out by the river
Our main outdoor gym is located next to He Ara Kotahi Bridge, off Dittmer Drive. While you’re walking or biking along the river, you can stop and do a workout in this popular, well-lit spot.
The gym features mobile platforms that can be relocated if needed and you’ll find equipment for arms, legs, glutes, abs, and much more.
Join us and Sport Manawatū in January 2025 to learn how to make the most of the gym
Opened in July 2024, this gym is a part of our Manawatū River Framework project, designed to make the river a vibrant destination and strengthen our community’s connection to our awa.
Additionally, Papaioea Park and Takaro Park both feature some fixed outdoor fitness equipment.
