The Fitness Court, located in Comer Cox Park, will open July 11, 2022 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. This Fitness Court was developed by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois, the Springfield Park District, the City of Springfield and the National Fitness Campaign to expand free access to high quality workouts and create equitable access to exercise for communities around the state. The Fitness Court is the world’s best outdoor gym that lets people use their own body weight to get a complete workout using seven exercise stations. Created with people aged 14 and over and with all abilities in mind, the workouts are adaptable for all fitness levels, allowing participants to move at their own pace. Residents are invited to attend the Launch Event on July 11th at 11:00am to try the Fitness Court.
