Louisa Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I only realised they had finished it when I went for an early morning stroll today. I have to say it is very impressive and I used all of the equiptment too. It maybe isnt quite as controlled as a 'proper' gym, but everything looks great and works fantastically well and best of all its all FREE!! I recommend it for anyone on a credit crunch busting diet.Louisa.

cate Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Kids under 12 aren't supposed to go on it. I saw loads of 3/4 year olds the other climbing and using stuff without any supervision.

Rach Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I'm a mum and for the record I wouldn't let my kid use it - someone should enforce that - we would be very cross if adults where using the kids equipment - although a few might get stuck!

Cynerix Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I toatally agree with you, I have seen first hand what everyone is talking about.The parents should be more strict, after all they would soon complain if the adults took over the childrens playground etcCynerix Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6188-new-outdoor-gym-at-peckham-rye-park/#findComment-332096 Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Bob* Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I've been past the place four hundred times and have never seen any more than two people using 'the equipment' at once - for any serious purpose other than 'as a laugh to kill two minutes'. If you put a load of shiny metal moving parts within ten paces from a skateboard park and toddler's playground, you're kind-of asking for it. There are also several busy roads and a pond for drowning in which parents must negotiate on their way to and from the park. I guess they feel they can make their own decisions as to whether lifting their children briefly onto a tractionless treadmill constitutes any sort of meaningful risk, in the grand scheme of life. There are logs in Peckham Rye which are more dangerous, if used unsupervised.I expect if there was a queue of tracksuited keep-fit enthusiasts doing star-jumps and jogging up and down on the spot to keep warm, patiently waiting for a machine to become free, there wouldn't be any parents and children using them as a momentary distraction en route to the ice cream shop. Only there aren't. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6188-new-outdoor-gym-at-peckham-rye-park/#findComment-332105 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huggers Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I pass the gym everymorning with the dog and it is always busy with adults using it, often under the tyrranical gaze of a personal trainer.

PeckhamRose Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 And I just pass the 'gym'.As quickly as possible. But not quick enough to make it look like I'm exercising... Some things should definitely be done in the privacy of one's home. Lifting the cat is my exercise. She's porking it a bit.
