FREE FITNESS FOR ALL

New Outdoor Fitness Court® at Fairgrounds Park Provides Inclusive Access and Opportunity

In June 2019, the City of Loveland was the first in the state of Colorado to install an outdoor Fitness Court®. Created by the National Fitness Campaign and partially funded by the generous support of our partner, UCHealth, the new court is an outdoor bodyweight circuit training facility designed to transform public spaces into community fitness hubs.

The best part? It’s free to use.

“Exercise is one of the most powerful tools we have when it comes to health. It can help prevent and treat so many chronic diseases, and it’s good for your spirit and mind, too,” said Dr. Peter Smith, a UCHealth internal medicine physician in Loveland. “We are thrilled to be a part of this project because it’s going to inspire more people and families to move more and to have fun doing it.”

The outdoor Fitness Court® has been a valuable addition to Loveland

UCHealth along with our own recreation coordinators led free fitness classes at the court. Our combined efforts burned approximately 671,440 calories.

We also received the National Healthy Community Award for Programming Excellence presented by the National Fitness Campaign.
