The workout area itself can be found on the north east corner of the park off of East 10th Street and Avenue B.
Popularized by fitness personality Al Kavaldo the park is home to many of NYC's bar athletes. Many of his YouTube videos and tutorials use this park in order to demonstrate the moves. The facility itself appears to be somewhat older and bears many hallmarks of a children's playground....for adults. Do be on the look out for kids looking to commandeer the space, and please be patient with the little humans.
The facility itself is designed in a monkey bar style with attached pull up bars, an arched horizontal ladder and a myriad of bars and poles designed to test your imagination as much as your fitness abilities. There is also a set of parallel bars off to the side.
As you may be able to discern from the pictures, the paint is fading on some of the equipment and is in need of a paint job. The park also features rubber matting designed to soften one's landings however it also appears to be wearing and in need of repair.
