Calisthenics equipment at Barclay Heritage Square

The Vancouver Park Board has completed the installation of the calisthenics equipment that was voted on by the West End community in spring 2020 as part of the WEChoo$e participatory budgeting pilot project

The West End Calisthenics Park in Barclay Heritage Square was one of fourteen potential initiatives identified through the West End Participatory Budgeting project, also known as WeChoo$e. This project received the highest number of community votes and a $50,000 grant towards implementation. Located carefully beneath existing, mature trees, and in a location to preserve the open green lawn area, the installed equipment includes an incline bench, parallel bars, push up bar, decline press, Swedish ladder, plus a separate, accessible hand-cycling station. The equipment was opened to the public in January 2022 and was immediately seen in use by local residents.
