Improvements to the Calisthenics outdoor park at Second Beach, Vancouver BC

The Issue

We would like to ask the city of Vancouver for a few much needed upgrades to the second beach Calisthenics/exercise park. The current location has a lot of room around it to add in a few pieces of equipment, this would greatly impact the people that use this place daily and weekly with the amount of traffic it sees the upgrade will be greatly appreciated by many! Calisthenics (bodyweight exercises) has gotten very popular over the last 4 years, it was labeled the top fitness trend in 2015 and 2016 looks like it's growing even more. When you look at how it has expanded in places like Europe and USA it's amazing to see how calisthenics has come, they have built hundreds parks over the last few years and it brings together people from all walks of life to live a healthy lifestyle and be part of an awesome community. We have been doing meet ups at second beach for just over 2 years now and the amount of people that join in keeps growing, with only 1 pull up bar, 1 set of rings and 1 gymnastics bar we are very limited to what we can do. Most weekends our groupe has around 40 people and with only 1 bar it's tough to have others join in with us, please help us show the city of Vancouver that this park needs a new look!
