| Here's just a sampling of what people are saying about their Fitness Outdoors Community Parks. "The gym and I just aren’t compatible but I really appreciate the convenient location of the Briar Hill Fitness Outdoors park in Calgary. I am 63 years of age, a mother of three, and a grandmother of four. Having the fitness park in my neighborhood has made it easier to get a gym workout and it’s free to use. The equipment is really easy to use and I am thoroughly enjoying the park." Diane Bell, Calgary, AB
