The Municipality of San Zeno di Montagna has joined the Sport di Tutti nei Parchi project, conceived by Sport e Salute SpA (the state company for the promotion of sport and healthy lifestyles) and promoted together with Anci (National Association of Italian Municipalities ). The Municipality of Verona, which has always been attentive to the well-being and health of its citizens, supports the promotion of wellness in gardens, parks and urban areas. The digitalized Equipped Area, inaugurated last April 19, is located in Pineta Sperane and will be a place dedicated to the well-being of all citizens to be together, to practice physical activity, exercising alone or in a group.
On every single tool, everyone will be able to download the training tutorials, through a simple QR Code, thus being able to do physical activity in the greenery, to regenerate body and mind. Present at the ribbon cutting were the mayor Maurizio Castellani, the councilor for tourism Carlo Gambino, the councilor with responsibility for sport Fabio Castellani, the regional councilor Daniele Polato and the regional representative of Progetto di Sport e Salute SpA Veneto Stefano Camporese. Furthermore, the inauguration event attracted a large participation of citizens and sports associations who received a plaque for the constant commitment and sporting passion promoted in the area in recent years.
«The new open-air gym – stated Mayor Castellani – represents a unique opportunity for residents and tourists who will be able to enjoy the benefits of training in the open air, immersed in the natural beauty of San Zeno di Montagna». Equipped with a variety of modern and functional equipment, the gym offers a full range of options for cardiovascular training, muscle strength and relaxation. From bodyweight training equipment to stationary bikes, ab benches and functional fitness facilities, there’s something for everyone, regardless of your level or personal goals.
«This gym – Councilor Gambino then specified – is not just a place to sweat and train, it is also a space for socialization and mental well-being. In fact, the surrounding open and green spaces offer a peaceful and inspiring environment for any outdoor discipline from running to walking on the municipal trail network; to mountain biking to be practiced in the nearby Bike Park “Pineta Sperane XCO”, al tarzaning in the adventure park next door. Our administration has focused heavily on the creation of this open-air sports center and we are already working to expand it with new dedicated attractions.”
In an era in which more and more people lead a sedentary lifestyle, this gym represents a valuable alternative to encourage physical activity and fight diseases related to lack of movement. «Promoting the health and well-being of citizens – concluded Councilor Castellani – through these innovative and accessible projects means reiterating the attention and importance that this administration places on infrastructures for physical activity so as to bring multiple benefits to our community , sports associations and tourists”.
