González de Zárate recalled that Benidorm has four other callisthenics areas, one in the same urban park, in the upper area of ​​Av. Beniardà, in the Leisure Park, above the Bullring, in Rincón de Loix and on Playa de Poniente”.

Callisthenics areas “in all neighbourhoods”, said González de Zárate, “so people can enjoy and do sports outdoors”. The councillor has also valued the local climate which favours outdoor sports practice.

With this fifth callisthenics area, Benidorm continues to advance in its objective of being a benchmark city in sports and healthy leisure, offering its inhabitants and tourists more opportunities to stay active and enjoy public spaces.

Callisthenics

Calisthenics is a physical training. It develops strength, flexibility and endurance and has gained popularity recently due to its accessibility and versatility. This sport does not require expensive equipment, as it is practised on specific structures: beams, rings and other elements. In addition, it is an inclusive activity that adapts to all ages and fitness levels.
