Midvale Park Fitness Corner

Tucson, AZ

The playground features a green exercise station with a series of circular black seats arranged along a pathway. The surrounding area is open with gravel and grass, but the absence of traditional playground structures such as slides or swings is notable. The park is shaded by some trees, though it lacks a rain cover for children's equipment, as there are no visible structures to provide such protection.
