Outdoor Gym Skt. Jørgens Engen

Outdoor exercise close to the Odense River

The outdoor gym at Skt. Jørgens Engen has a variety of equipment for a full-body workout. The equipment is designed for adults and can be used for strength exercises and stretching.

The gym is located close to the paths along the Odense River, making it easy to include in a run or walk through the area. You can also visit it as a destination in its own right for an outdoor workout.

From gasworks site to park and nature area

The outdoor gym is situated by the former gasworks site, which has been transformed into a park and nature area. Several specific natural features were incorporated into the design. Wild herbs and flowers have been sown, butterfly bushes and new trees have been planted, and mature trees have been retained.

Trunks from felled trees have been left as dead wood, while boulders and a hollow where rainwater can collect add variety to the area. Between the less intensively maintained sections, you will also find mown lawns with space for recreation and play.

The result is an area where exercise equipment, paths and planting sit side by side, close to both the city and the Odense River.
