The Los Angeles Parks Foundation is a not-for-profit that was created to support the Los Angeles City Department of Parks and Recreation. Since its inception in 2008, the LA Parks Foundation has raised over $45 million to support LA city park projects and programs. They obtain private funding through donations and fundraising to enhance current outdoor spaces across the city.
Outdoor-Fit x Los Angeles Parks Foundation
The LA Parks Foundation received a private donation for new outdoor fitness equipment and chose Outdoor-Fit to supply it. Robert Burns Park was the location of choice, only a few miles south of Hollywood. The three units are all painted in light green and include the LA Parks Foundation logo on the instructional placards. As our first park project in Los Angeles, we were pleased they chose the Apollo Multigym, two Everest Cardio Climbers, and made it an ASTM (F3101-21a) compliant site with safety surfacing and proper spacing. Hats off to our exclusive dealer, Pacific Park and Play, for their fantastic site prep and installation work!
Project Goals
- Create a super durable outdoor gym that wouldn’t require significant upkeep and maintenance.
- Ensure that the site meets ASTM safety requirements.
- Provide equipment that would benefit the entire community, from young adults to seniors.
For their 2022 Park Adoption, the Clifford Family Foundation through Los Angeles Parks Foundation installed a brand-new fitness tower and two cardio climbers at Robert Burns Park. This multi-functional fitness tower is the first of its kind in a Los Angeles City Park, transforming the park for users of all ages with resources to remain active.
