Middle Park Beach Outdoor Gym

Fantastic experience: A good outdoor gym too get your heart pumping. It has the vault bar, push-up, sit-up and log-hop. It’s right by the beach, so it’s a nice view.

Fantastic experience: Located on the Middle Park Foreshore, at the corner of Armstrong Street and Beaconsfield Parade, Middle Park, this is one of six Council-managed outdoor exercise equipment areas in parks in the City of Port Phillip. Although small, with only 4 exercise stations, being on the Middle Park Foreshore, this mini outdoor gym is in a perfect location for those people that want to work out while taking advantage of the great outdoors. It's easily accessible and provides for free fitness opportunities for all to use at any time. It includes some of what are called 'Back to Basics' outdoor fitness equipment - Vault Bar, Sit-up Bench, Push-up Bar, and a Log Hop station that together provide for an effective, self-paced, do-it-yourself exercise program. The idea is to move from exercise to exercise following the instructions to systematically work out in a safe and effective manner and there's a sign that coaches you on how to safely and effectively use the particular fitness equipment at each exercise station. There's also a Welcome and Heart Check, Cardiovascular Fitness Guide.

Negative experience: too limited, no parallel bars, a lot of random things, maybe for kids, and a pull up bar.

Fantastic experience: Very good place to workout and enjoy the view with music

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach really close to Melbourne. Unbelievably quiet on a Saturday afternoon when we visited during Christmas holidays.

Positive experience: Really nice to be able to work out while looking at the bay. Small selection of equipment. The floor is made of sand which is a bit annoying and doesn't help with any exercises. Water and toilets available nearby.

Positive experience: It's a nice set up but it is a shame that the floor is made of sand... What is the point?! It doesn't make sense.

Fantastic experience: Very good price

Positive experience: A great little spot here, nothing like it until the St Kilda and Elwood border. There are some toilets nearby, they're not great but they're there. The fitness gym has a small selection of different options.
