SENIORS' WELLNESS PARK AT PARKGATE PARK
The North Shore's first Seniors' Wellness Park is located in Parkgate Park at the end of Parkgate Avenue, North Vancouver.
The park has 18 blue painted reinforced machines set in a circular format and is divided into four areas:
- Cardio
- Strength
- Flexibility
- Rehabilitation
There is a fifth area which is a permanently inserted rubber mat suitable for stretching, Tai Chi or yoga.
The Seniors' Wellness Park was funded by the District of North Vancouver and the Province of British Columbia, with the Mt. Seymour Lions Club donating an on-site information kiosk outlining the park's facilities.
