Downtown Grand Rapids wants you to get your fitness on! The city will be installing six public fitness stations that will run along Sixth Street Park and Canal Park. Each station will have a range of fitness equipment like pull up bars, cross elliptical, hand cycler and many more. There will also be drinking fountain stations so you can stay hydrated while you workout.

Installation begins this month and is costing a whopping $126,000. The project should be completed by the end of this month
