Installation of Calisthenics Equipment
Stichting Dillenburgpark is taking another step forward in its initiatives to make De Schroef park in Drunen more attractive. On March 17, calisthenics equipment was installed and is now ready for use!
Calisthenics is a form of exercise where you train using your own body weight. Examples of exercises include pull-ups, push-ups, and hanging from bars. You can adjust the intensity yourself, making the equipment suitable for both beginners and experienced athletes.
The equipment is freely accessible to everyone. No membership or special sportswear is required. A sign near the equipment provides simple instructions and exercises you can try right away. Come by and discover this outdoor sport!
The realization of this sports area was made possible thanks to the efforts of the citizen initiative by Stichting Dillenburgpark, which raised the necessary funds through crowdfunding and sponsorship. Additionally, the BoxUp—a free-to-use sports equipment cabinet—will be placed in the same section of the park, giving visitors even more opportunities to stay active.
