We’re installing new senior fitness equipment at Tunstall Park, Nunawading. This will be the first of its kind within Whitehorse City Council.
The equipment is specifically designed for senior members of the community targeting those with rehabilitation needs.
The equipment promotes active ageing and physical independence for seniors by supporting exercises that help improve balance, strength, functional movement, manual dexterity, joint range of motion and mobility.
It will be located near the existing playground in Tunstall Park, which is located behind the Nunawading Community Hub.
Footpaths connecting the senior fitness equipment to the nearby carpark and Luckie Street will help make accessing the equipment easy and safe.
The concept design for the senior fitness equipment includes:
- Senior Fitness Equipment
- Bench seating around the equipment
- A drinking fountain
About the senior fitness equipment
The senior fitness equipment is specifically designed for older people based on research developed by the National Ageing Research Institute (NARI).
The equipment will be supplied by a company specialising in age-appropriate exercise equipment.
Installation of the equipment is expected to be completed by December 2025.
