Commemoration Park fitness equipment NEW WATERFRONT FITNESS PARK IN BALLINA
Commemoration Park on beautiful North Creek in Bentinck Street has been transformed into an exciting new outdoor fitness park. The park provides over 134 different exercises and includes instructional boards and app integration plus a shade structure still to come. Commemoration Park was chosen as a suitable location after a community consultation process. It was also chosen as there are two children’s playgrounds (Meldrum Park and Missingham Park) nearby. There are over 45 local parks and playgrounds in Ballina Shire. Find a park near you at ballina.nsw. gov.au/playgrounds
