Ballawley Park is the first in the Rathdown/DunLaoghaire area to install an outdoor friendly gym. The park has been graced with nine pieces from the Only Outdoors range consisting of a Presser and Puller which both work on the upper body area, an Air Walker and Leg Press which concentrate on the lower body area and two Cross Trainers which gives the body an overall workout. The park has also installed a warm up area which consists of a Twister, Shoulder Builder and Tai Chi Spinners.
The outdoor gym in Ballawley Park is set up in a trim trail layout allowing visitors of the park to workout on a certain gym piece and then move on to the next piece - more active members of the community may prefer to jog or even sprint from one piece to the next in order to have a more high energy workout.
