A free outdoor gym has opened in Chesterfield Road Park next to the Civic Centre, Mansfield.

Seven pieces of equipment are available for anyone to use all year round.

They include a chin-up and dip station, spinning bicycle, abs bench, hydraulic squat station, pendulum station, shoulder press and hydraulic arm press.

The £12,943 cost was funded entirely by the developer of new homes on the site of the former Green Dragon pub on Marlborough Road.

Director of place and wellbeing at the council, Martyn Saxton, (pictured) said: “Improving the health and wellbeing of people in the district is a priority for the council.” Considering the number of people who use this park, we are expecting this outdoor gym to be popular.
