The open-air gym of the Europa park is born in Pitz'e Serra. Many young people, led by the testimonial of the event Patrick Cappai, participated this morning in the inauguration of the equipped area created by the Municipality of Quartu as part of the Sport di tutti – Parchi project, conceived by Sport e Salute SpA - the state company for the promotion of sport and healthy lifestyles - and promoted together with Anci.
An equipped space in the center of a large green lawn, an area of 300 square meters to practice, alone or in a group, in any case free of charge, outdoor sports. There are a total of 8 pieces of equipment made available to citizens: from the step (40 and 60 cm) to the bike for arms, from the city bike to the leg press and pull up, from the wall bars to the triceps bench, from the push up bar to the combi 4 and custom.
The digitalized equipped area - in network with all the others already installed in the rest of Italy - will be a place dedicated to the well-being of all citizens. On each individual piece of equipment there is a simple QR Code that will allow all athletes to download the training tutorial, being able to then put it into practice immersed in the greenery, to regenerate body and mind.
Today, the kids from the sports section of Porcu Satta didn't miss the opportunity to get in touch with the new sports-play space and, after being the protagonists in person for the ribbon cutting, they immediately wanted to try out the installed equipment, guided by their teachers.
With them were many young people who practice boxing and others who have chosen muay thai: all unleashed in the green with demonstrations related to their discipline. Also present were a representation of very young rhythmic gymnasts and other athletes who practice fitness. Just as there were no shortage of older citizens who came to see the new area and immediately intent on trying out a workout.
The Councilor for Public Education and Sport, Cinzia Carta, thanked "all those present for having accepted the invitation for the inauguration of the equipped area financed by the Municipality and Sport and Health. We chose this Park because it is particularly popular, and we studied the best solutions so that the gym space can be used by everyone, from the very young to the over 65s, including disabled people. The hope is that it will be used to the best, with the utmost respect so that it remains functional for a long time".
The testimonial of the event Patrick Cappai, reigning world champion of boxing, urged the citizens not to be satisfied: "Today I see around me many young people, many children who want to do sports. I like it and strong in my experience I would like to invite them not to neglect this desire to do, and also to feed the desire to go far; set goals and commit to achieving them, even at the cost of having to make sacrifices. It is the path to follow to obtain results, useful to give satisfaction to themselves first of all, but also to the city of Quartu and maybe to all of Sardinia".
