OCEAN CITY – The city has opened a new, free outdoor fitness park to the public.
The city recently completed installation of the new exercise equipment adjacent to the Ocean City Civic Center, just off the boardwalk between Fifth and Sixth streets.
The facility is open dawn to dusk daily and includes 12 single-use pieces of equipment and two large multiuse pieces. Each is designed specifically to withstand harsh weather and heavy usage with safety in mind.
Users can download the Kompan Outdoor Fitness app for free workouts specific to the equipment, which includes an abdominal bench, shoulder press machine, pull-down, leg press, heavy bag, horizontal row, cross-trainer, chest press machine, recumbent bike, arm bike, kettle bells and various other pieces.
City, county, state and chamber of commerce officials and Ocean City Healthy Living Advisory Council members, who originated the idea for the park, recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark its official opening.
“It’s a great new amenity for everyone who makes the boardwalk or Carey Stadium part of their daily fitness routine and for anyone else,” Mayor Jay Gillian said.
