Watkins Mill Fitness Park update

The Watkins Mill Fitness Park renovation is nearing completion and is anticipated to open in either late May or June 2023. The major components of this project included the demolition of the existing building and pool facility; necessary site work; installation of required stormwater management facilities; relocation of the existing playground to be adjacent to the outdoor gym; planting of trees and shrubs; installation of a path connecting the entrances to the amenities; addition of a four-foot high fence around the perimeter of the park; installation of site furnishings; and the creation of the fitness space, which includes a 10-foot wide exercise path, state of the art outdoor fitness equipment with fabric shade structure, overhead lighting and rubber surface.

The outdoor gym will have similar functionality to an indoor gym and offers a full body workout. The gym includes multiple ADA accessible pieces; pieces that have adjustable resistance to meet all fitness level needs and work all muscle groups; a fitness rig which offers a full body workout on one piece of equipment; and cardio equipment including an elliptical and upright bike. This gym is covered by a large fabric shade structure to provide some protection from the elements.

Once the park is open, MVF will post a signage at the park entrance stating that its open for use, and post the news on our communication platforms.
