Parc de gymnastique d'Utrecht
Anyone looking for a calisthenics park in Utrecht was disappointed. Until now, there were a few bars in Julianapark and Transwijk Park, but they weren't quite there. Few equipment, low bars, and hardly any options. Anyone looking for a real calisthenics park in Utrecht was forced to go to Maarssen. That's changed a few months ago. In collaboration with Utrecht University, a new calisthenics park opened at the Uithof. The park is located on Leuvenlaan, opposite the Educatorium. It's a beautiful and pleasant location, best reached by bike or public transport. A sidewalk runs alongside the park, where people regularly pass by, and the park is actually used by athletes of all levels.

The beautiful grass carpet under the bars is truly inviting and provides a softer landing if something goes wrong. Besides the usual pull-up bars, there are two dip bars and one monkey bar. The park also features a ladder with horizontal bars and a vertical bar for practicing exercises like the human flag. The rings in the calisthenics park in Utrecht are a nice addition, but unlike real rings, the possibilities and freedom of movement are limited. For example, swinging properly and performing an iron cross is impossible. There are also two incline benches, so you can also work on your lower back and abdominal muscles. Finally, the figures on the floor can be used to train your lower body's explosiveness. In short, a very complete park with many possibilities. A real asset for athletes in Utrecht and definitely worth a visit.
