I’ve been noticing how real estate trends seem to shape the availability of outdoor fitness areas, especially in urban settings. With rising property values and new developments popping up everywhere, it feels like green spaces and parks are becoming harder to come by. For those of us who rely on outdoor gyms, running trails, or even just open spaces for calisthenics, this could be a real challenge.
Has anyone else experienced this in their area? I’m curious if there are ways to advocate for more fitness-friendly spaces as communities grow and change. Do you think local governments or developers are doing enough to balance growth with access to outdoor fitness options? Would love to hear your thoughts or any strategies you’ve seen work in your own neighborhoods!
