11 · Friday, July 30, 2010 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.oakvillebeaver.com Workout at the lake in South Shell Park By Dominik Kurek OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF The Town of Oakville has installed innovative GreenGym outdoor fitness equipment at South Shell Park. The GreenGym is a $15,000 pilot project, part of Oakville's Make Your Move initiative, made possible through an $82,000 grant from the Province. "This is the perfect location for the town's first outdoor gym equipment and I thank the Province for allowing us the opportunity to enhance Oakville's recreational services to the community," said Ward 1 Councillor Ralph Robinson. "This GreenGym will allow residents to get fit for free, in the open air and in a beautiful park setting with waterfront views. What more could you ask for?" The GreenGym circuit consists of five userfriendly workout stations including a double butterfly, a quad leg press, a double air walker, a double swinger/knee raise/dip, and a Tai Chi spinner for shoulder flexibility. Endorsed by ParticipACTION Canada, the equipment is geared to individuals aged 12 years and older, but younger children can use the equipment with adult supervision. In addition to the GreenGym unveiling, the Town invites residents and walking groups to `get active, get healthy and have fun doing it.' This summer's Junior Summer Active Challenge encourages youths aged four to 13 years, to complete 60 physical activities over the course of the summer. Once participants hit each of the three milestones, they'll receive a free swim/skate or climb pass and their names are entered into a draw for a chance to win great prizes. The challenge runs until Sept. 1. "Get out, get active and have fun this summer," said Nina deVaal, director of recreation and culture. "The Junior Summer Active Challenge is a great opportunity for kids and their families to stay active by making daily physical activity an enjoyable and rewarding experience." Other summer activities around town include outdoor swimming at splash pads and pools such as Bronte, Falgarwood, Brookdale, Lions and Wedgewood outdoor pools.
