Lee’s Summit Parks and Recreation (LSPR) is excited to announce the opening of our outdoor fitness equipment at Lowenstein Park. Produced by Gametime/Cunningham Recreation, the THRIVE 900 has 20 fitness stations with innovative and challenging options for beginners and advanced users, alike.

“LSPR is excited to add this unique and versatile functional fitness unit to Lowenstein Park,” Joe Snook, LSPR Administrator, said. “I know it will be a popular destination for exercise enthusiasts.”

This is the first multi-station functional outdoor fitness equipment in LSPR.  The outdoor fitness area also includes synthetic turf-surfacing for stretching and other outdoor fitness instructional activities. LSPR will be offering fitness classes including: circuit training, outdoor TRX and small group personal training sessions.

The equipment is available for community use during park hours. Children under the ages of 13 are not allowed on the equipment. An informative kiosk is located in the turf area and explains the uses of the THRIVE 900, and a QR code can also be scanned to watch instructional videos.
