Working out at the park just got a whole lot easier. Residents now have the option to turbo-charge their walks through Prien Lake Park with new outdoor fitness stations. Each fitness stop features high quality equipment that allows you to combine your cardio workout on the walking path with a total body workout on the equipment.

Residents can now exercise from head to toe including everything from arms, shoulders, back, and legs with a stretch of cardio as they walk or jog from station to station. Each one features a podium that includes instructions on how to use the equipment properly.

Park superintendent Lacie Carter says, “We want to make exercising fun and enjoyable for our community. People already enjoy being outdoors and the views of nature and open spaces. By providing new and innovative outdoor fitness equipment to the area, we hope to help our community work towards healthier living and sustainability. The numerous stations feature high quality equipment that will allow you to combine your cardio workout on the walking path with a complete body workout on each individual piece of equipment.”

Kane Webb, Facility Management Director, says, “The Police Jury is continually looking for new ways to improve upon the services our parks and facilities already offer. The addition of this equipment will provide our park enthusiasts of all fitness levels, beginners to experts, a new experience when visiting Prien Lake Park.”

The popular walking path winds through the park and offers measurement markings so you can choose either a .42 mile walk or a .79 mile walk for your workout. Prien Lake Park is located at 3700 West Prien Lake Road in Lake Charles.
