Fitness & Athletic Fields

Our vision is to expand the usage and diversity of ways that the community can exercise in the park. We are advocating for:

•  Outdoor Fitness Equipment. Since there is no space for strength training equipment inside the Balboa Park rec center, and our weather is generally mild, we are advocating for outdoor fitness equipment. There are already two informal groups that meet regularly to exercise in the park -- both would immediately benefit from the equipments. Plus, anyone, old or young, would be able to do body weight strength training any time on their own given their work, study or other schedules. We believe that introducing fitness facilities will enhance the well-being and sense of togetherness among residents.

• Greater community access to Boxer Stadium (like Kezar Stadium). We would like Rec & Park to initiate a community input process to identify ways that Boxer stadium can be made more accessible to community members for organized sports, exercise & fitness, etc.

• Updating the Baseball fields. We would like Rec & Park to initiate a community input process to identify ways that the baseball fields can be updated and made more conducive to year-long, multi-use sports activity.
