Green Gym
Green gyms, also known as outdoor exercise gyms, is the concept of setting up and utilizing exercise equipment in an outdoor, open space setup. They are typically designed to offer exercise for all ages and abilities from young children, adults, seniors and professional athleetes. They can be setup as permanent or temporary installations.
BTCV's Green Gym programme aims to provide people with a way to enhance their fitness and health while taking action to improve the outdoor environment. It can be seen as enabling people to get fit who would not normally attend a conventional gym or sports centre.

Famous quotes containing the word green:
“The landscape was clothed in a mild and quiet light, in which the woods and fences checkered and partitioned it with new regularity, and rough and uneven fields stretched away with lawn-like smoothness to the horizon, and the clouds, finely distinct and picturesque, seemed a fit drapery to hang over fairyland. The world seemed decked for some holiday or prouder pageantry ... like a green lane into a country maze, at the season when fruit-trees are in blossom.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
