My go-to place for a calisthenics workout. I usually go at night, and I'm usually the only guy working out there. There are two stations, the one right by the divvy bike station is the best tho!
So there’s actually 2 calisthenics stations about 300 feet apart from one another along a gravel path flanking a street. One station has a parallel bars, pull up bar with multiple grip positions, and 8 metal rings bar-set. If the parks organization is reading this, have one of the sets of rings lowered two feet. The rings are all 6 feet from the ground making it nearly impossible to get above the rings to do ring dips unless you have superhuman strength.
The other calisthenics station is closer to Diversey and has an ab station which supports your bodyweight by your forearms. This station was a lot more limited from a calisthenics point of view. There was an overhead bar there ( no extra grip positions ) and a few sets of equipment used for body stretching.
