Central Park Seniors Exercise Stations and Social Space

Location:

Central Park will be the home of new Seniors Exercise Stations and Social Space. The exercise stations will have workout equipment that are built for seniors. In between gentle workouts, the seniors can rest and socialize at the seating benches under the shade of trees.

See Location Map [PDF]

Description:

This project is from a donation from the Burlington Seniors Community Programs and Services Inc. (BSCI). The BSCI donated the first Seniors Exercise Stations and Social Space in the beautiful Burloak Waterfront Park in 2020. The success of this project prompted the decision by BSCI to build a second one in Central Park. Central Park was chosen as the site is frequented by seniors who may be visiting the Seniors Centre and the library.

Construction Timeline:

The project will take place in two stages:

1. Construction of the concrete pad space in November/early December 2022
2. Installation of the exercise stations in April 2023.
