Many thanks to Mark Mariscal with LA Parks & Rec. Dept. and Greenfield Sport Parks, Inc. I found more pictures of the equipment at the company's website: <a href="http://greenfield-sport-parks.com/photo_gallery.asp" rel="nofollow">http://greenfield-sport-parks.com/photo_gallery.asp</a> Now my question is - how do we get our city and county officials install more of those in other community parks of LA???

Yeah, Greayer Oak Park could use some amenities, that narrow piece of grass doesn't have much going for it, other than the daily wino conventions. (At least they're mostly friendly, one of them even has a good singing voice!) Flor y Canto, I <a href="http://florycanto.org/bikes/index.htm" rel="nofollow">recognize</a> that name! ;) Thanks for the info Annie.

I have gone a few times (I really should go more often) in the early morning and it is always packed. People are super nice though and it makes me really happy that I can walk my dog and tie him up while I workout without anyone giving him dirty looks (cuz he's a pit)and workout for free and among peeps from the community who are nice and supportive (not like creeps at the gym). When you were taking pics, it was an all latino crowd but when I go I also see some black ladies who work at the nursing home across the street. I saw another guero there besides myself once but it mostly seems like the folks from up in the hills are staying with their private and/or home gyms. Now I really wish they would put that equipment at the little park on Fig across from La Abeja and where Flor y Canto used to be. Clearly people will use it if its there and it would be nice to see someone besides the drunk recycling center crowd using that park. And of course, it's alot closer than Sycamore for me and my neighbors. I am a big fan of this equipment as well.

A week ago I stopped by and saw that they indeed were just that. Word around town says these things are taken over by adults in the mornings with very serious workout intentions. They even form lines to get on some of the equipment! I remember going by and thinking: are those outdoor workout-equipment set-ups?
