Local exercise area

Local exercise areas are free of charge and open to everyone for informal, spontaneous physical exercise and fitness activities.

Local exercise areas provide opportunities for playful exercise and physical activity, especially for children and young people. Local exercise areas are available to city residents free of charge year-round, including night-time hours. However, they do not have winter maintenance or specific winter-time activities.

Local exercise areas cannot be reserved in advance and are not intended for club activities but for informal, spontaneous physical exercise and fitness activities. The basic features of local exercise areas include small playing fields, arenas, exercise equipment, sports playgrounds and rest areas. More information about local exercise areas is available from the specific locations.
