The brief was to rejuvenate an area of Kennington Park devoted to adult fitness that was currently fitted with a few items that were damaged through vandalism, were beyond their commissionable life and in some cases were inappropriate for the heavy use and the increased demand for this type of equipment within public spaces.
Fenland Leisure Products had delivered within the previous year a large and expansive range of adult fitness equipment for Lambeth BC on a separate park (Clapham Common) which had been a great success and received much praise both locally and nationally. It was with this in mind that Lambeth BC again approached FLP to design, cost and deliver a similar style project tailored to the needs of the smaller Kennington Park.
After consultation with both Lambeth BC and members of the local community, and independent fitness instructors, FLP designed a circuital layout of items that included a range of both steel and timber constructed pieces. Multi overhead bar fitness stations were complimented with Abdominal Crunch benches, gate Climb obstacles and other lower level pieces to be used for step up and balance work, all designed to provide a full body workout.
High quality design specification, longevity and safety are at the forefront of all FLP installations, and with this in mind a premium quality all weather Fibre fall Rubber Safer Surfacing was installed beneath the higher items to ensure durability of the surface beneath these high use pieces, along with protection against injuries caused through falling off of the items.
This was then complimented by using Safer Grass surfacing beneath the lower items again to ensure longevity of use and prevention of surface wear within the footfall areas.
And finally, a bespoke circuit sign was then designed and printed to Lambeth Borough Councils requirements, including all safety notices and logos, depicting the layout of the circuit, details of the pieces included and advice on use.
