The Mayor of Rome Roberto Gualtieri and the Councilor for Agriculture, Environment and Waste Cycle Sabrina Alfonsi inaugurated a new fitness area designed and built by the Environmental Protection Department inside the Caffarella park. The area was equipped with three steel structures with pull-up bars at different heights, parallel bars and a station with rings. In addition, three abdominal benches were installed, a station with low parallel bars for push-ups, a station with triple low and two structures for squats at different heights. The whole area was equipped with anti-shock flooring. In particular on the fitness areas, the department has developed a specific program of redevelopment and replacement of degraded sports equipment in green areas in all municipalities, which is expected to be completed by 2022.
“With this new fitness area we offer a new possibility to practice outdoor sports and to be together in a truly unique setting. I thank the councilor Alfonsi, the president of the VII Municipio Laddaga and the Committee for the commitment they carried out until the opening of this new space, less than a month after the start of the works. We strongly believe in sport and it is our intention to encourage it, to give everyone the opportunity to access a healthy and social practice and to make many areas of our city beautiful and vital ”, said the mayor of Rome Roberto Gualtieri.
“With the inauguration of this fitness area at Parco della Caffarella we are launching a plan of similar interventions that will concern parks, historic villas and gardens throughout the city. We are working to redevelop green areas with all-out interventions concerning the care of vegetation, trees, reforestation, the renewal of furnishings and structures. We do it in the awareness of how much the usability of well-kept and well-kept green spaces is important for the quality of life of the neighborhoods and of the city and with attention to all age groups of those who frequent them: from the smallest, with a commitment to the restructuring and construction of play areas, to the elderly to whom we provide areas for aggregation and relaxation, to our four-legged friends with dog areas equipped with agility courses and to sportsmen, for whom we have thought of a specific plan for areas dedicated to fitness ”, said Councilor Alfonsi.
