    I did for the laugh about a week or so ago. Don't expect a body-burning workout, there is next to no effort needed for any of the equipment, bar the pullup bar.

    Thers lots of this equipment being put into parks all around the country because of the recent round of Sports Capital grants from the Government. Mary McEleese was one of the champions of it in Ireland. Its mainly designed for elderly users and is more about improving flexibility and aerobic fitness. Theres also different regulations about fitness equipment for a gym and for unsupervised areas such as parks so you're never going to get the same workout.

    Iunno, I had my go not long after it was installed, maybe it is now. Then again, ducks, geese, swans and seagulls tend to have a hard time perching, and crows and pigeons don't tend to be around that area.
