While most parks are designed to meet the needs of young children, the developers of Chattanooga’s Main Terrain collaborated with fitness enthusiasts to create a space that would inspire adults to engage in fun physical activity.
The first-of-its-kind, urban-art fitness park features a cushiony, slip-resistant surface that covers the ground along the oblong track encircling the park. Five fitness nodes comprised of 15-foot by 20-foot concrete pads also dot the track. Runners can pause and use the nodes to complete a few sets of repetitions before continuing on with cardio exercise.
PlayCore, a Chattanooga-based outdoor equipment manufacturer, and getBUILT Chattanooga CrossFit, a core strength and conditioning exercise program with a studio located directly across from the park, have partnered to incorporate fitness elements into Main Terrain.
