Free Outdoor Fitness Court Opens In Avon

AVON, OH — A new, state-of-the-art outdoor gym is coming to Avon thanks to a partnership between the city and the National Fitness Campaign. The facility will be installed at the Avon Aquatic Facility and Park and will be suitable for all ages.

“Physical fitness is an important component in keeping all generations healthy," said Mayor Bryan Jensen. “Our Fitness Court is located in a city park alongside our Aquatic Facility. This will be an area where opportunities for health and wellness are all around you!”

The city said in a press release that the health and wellness of residents is a key priority, which led to the partnership with NFC and the decision to install the Fitness Court. The new facility will be an outdoor bodyweight circuit training track. There is also a free Fitness Court App that residents can download and use to track their training progress, learning new training routines or compete in fitness challenges.

An Opening Day Launch Party will be held for the gym on June 15. A ceremonial ribbon cutting will be held at 1:30 p.m. Following the ribbon cutting, there will be a community fitness challenge with prizes and giveaways.

The Fitness Court's address is 36265 Detroit Road.

“NFC sees that the City of Avon prioritizes the health and well-being of its residents. We are very proud to name Avon the home of the first ever Fitness Court in Ohio,” said Mitch Menaged, founder of National Fitness Campaign. “See you on the Court!”
