Open-air gym in GCC park in R. K. Nagar draws many people

The Chennai Corporation park located at R. K. Nagar, 2nd Main Road,  has more than just the standard swings, slides, monkey-bars and merry-go-rounds one usually sees at local parks. 


This large park has a badminton court. In the evenings, neighbourhood children gather here and team up to train and play matches. 


The park also has several fitness equipment used by the regulars here, including the elderly who are here for their morning or evening walk.


One equipment is similar to a steering wheel in both looks and application that helps strengthen the wrists and arms.


One other allows a person to sit on the chair and uses the arms’ strength to pull themselves up using the bars provided on the sides. 


Another piece of equipment works like an offline treadmill.
