The Rocks Area: Where are the bars?
So over in Gabriel Park there's this fitness area. You know the type. They were all the rage about 20 years ago, a small enclosure of timber and steel bars, along with a diagram of the proper exercises and how they are best performed. So the one in Gabriel Park is down by the tennis courts, right next to the sand volleyball courts. Jr. V refers to it as "the rocks area" since the ground under the pull-up bars, rings, parallel bars and balance beams is thickly covered with rather large pebbles.
Perfect for falling.
Anyway - 20 years in the Oregon weather has no exactly treated this area well. A couple of weeks ago, we noticed that many of the bars and one set of rings (the highest ones)had disappeared. A week later, the angled "sit-up" boards were gone.
Anyone got a line into the parks department? Are these items coming back? Or is the rocks area on the way out?
