The Vision
Hackleton Parish Council wanted to create a versatile outdoor fitness space that would cater to users of all ages and abilities. The goal was to install a multi-use gym, a dedicated street workout area, and a running track, providing a high-quality facility where the community could engage in cross-training, calisthenics, and cardiovascular exercise.
To ensure long-term usability, the equipment and surfacing needed to be low maintenance, highly durable, and built to withstand daily use.
The Solution
Caloo worked with the Parish Council to design and install a comprehensive outdoor fitness hub, incorporating a diverse mix of strength, agility, and endurance-based equipment.
Key installations included:
- Steel Workout Frame (Calisthenics Street Workout) – for functional training and bodyweight exercises.
- Hydraulic and Body Weight Gym Machines – providing low-impact resistance training.
- Obstacle Course Elements, including:
- Balance Beam
- Spider Web Net
- Gate Climber
- Monkey Bars
- Sloping Balance Beam
- Daily Mile Track – encouraging consistent cardio exercise and jogging.
- Fencing and Site Signage – ensuring a safe and well-marked workout environment.
- SUDS and Wet-Pour Surfacing – providing an impact-absorbing, slip-resistant, and weather-proof finish.
The Impact
The new outdoor fitness hub has been a resounding success, providing Hackleton with a visually striking, inclusive, and functional exercise space.
- Sharp, colourful designs and bright surfacing make the space highly inviting, serving as both a visual attraction and a functional fitness area.
- A diverse range of fitness options ensures that users of all fitness levels can engage in exercise, whether they are beginners or experienced athletes.
- The Daily Mile track encourages regular cardiovascular activity, fostering community engagement and healthy living.
Hackleton Recreation Ground now boasts a dynamic and engaging fitness space, ensuring that residents have a dedicated area to stay active, socialise, and build healthier lifestyles for years to come.
