Summary of editorial
Spot is not available to public all the time!
* 1 Pull Up bar wide enough for 2 people, tall enough for a 6 ft tall person to hang on
* 1 Pull Up bar is shorter (you see me in the pic, I'm 5'8" and can touch it with my feet on the ground), this bar can be good to jump up onto for muscleup progressions
* 1 Dip bars high enough to hang with your legs straight
* 1 Dip Bars low enough to keep your feet on the ground for support
* Lotta lower bars for pushup variations, declines/inclinces/etc also for doing dips with your feet on the ground out in front of you
* 1 Plyo table for lower body box jumps/etc
* 1 Climbing rope (It's anchored tautly to the ground, so it doesn't have a lot of slack, so you can't do the CrossFit style climb with the rope wrapped around your foot/leg
* Inside the lower dip bars are bars below to do australian pullup and hanging back row variations
* 1 decline situp bench
No bathrooms open that I could find
There is a water fountain not too far
The surface is soft which is nice for any jumping exercises
There is a running track and field there for cardio/suicides/etc
It's not lit at night, but has enough light from the street to workout after dark.
The gates are open till 10pm in the Fall/Winter and till 11pm in the spring/summer
The main entrance is open where the Red Xs are in the pic.
