ANSWER

By grouping the outdoor gym equipment into one gym zone you can create a great social gym park. This is better suited for group workouts, easier to maintain and ideal for smaller parks. Arranging the gym equipment into smaller groups around your park helps to revitalise areas of your park and encourages more timid residents to use the outdoor gym equipment. Locating the equipment along a trail offers the possibility of using the equipment as part of a jog or walk between each station.
