Outdoor Gym is "open"

The outdoor gym in Hailes Quarry Park in Westerhailes we discovered a few weeks ago has now been officially declared "open", according to the Edinburgh Evening News. It was set up by the City Council and Edinburgh & Lothians Greenspace Trust with some funding from Fields in Trust. A couple of people have already commented on the article that it won't last long and will be destroyed within the week (admittedly the first thought that crossed my mind on finding it). Let's hope not.

I think this exercise machine looks strangely like a pair of hair straighteners from a distance.

A Playpark designed for adults?

This weekend we found a new and shiny outdoor gym in Hailes Quarry Park in Westerhailes. There are machines for pull ups, hand pedaling and other forms of exercise. There was also a playground for children across the other side of the park which needs investigated.

More posts will be coming soon- once we manage to get together and make it to our first playpark.
