Lake Cathie has become the first town in the Hastings to install outdoor exercise equipment in a public park.
With funding from the state government, the Lake Cathie Progress Association purchased the equipment and put it in place in Jonathan Dickson Reserve.
Association members tested out the equipment ahead of this morning’s official opening by Council Administrator Neil Porter.
Some of the stations are designed for low-impact exercises for older people, while the more adventurous can test their fitness on the chin-up bar and sit-up bench.
The council is now looking at incorporating similar equipment into master plans for other reserves.
