The Albert-Oakland fitness circuit promotes a healthy lifestyle while making fitness fun and accessible to all people, regardless of their economic situation or physical ability. The trail is also excellent for walking, jogging and the enjoyment of the park's natural environment. In the southwest area of the park, you can gain access to the Bear Creek Trail. Park entrances are located off Blue Ridge Road and Edris Drive (off of Oakland Gravel Road).

Fitness Circuit

	Horizontal Ladder This familiar park piece is an effective fitness device for building shoulders, biceps, and hand-grip strength. Perform chin-ups or just hang to develop strength and stretch the upper body.
	Elliptical Cross Trainer This piece offers the same fluid motion as the equipment found in a gym. It develops strength in the legs and hips and improves cardiovascular endurance for a whole-body workout.
	Push-Up Bar Appropriate for strengthening hand grip, triceps and chest, this piece is a fitness course favorite.
	Seated Lat Pull Use part of your body weight as the resistance over a smooth range of motion. This product strengthens your upper back, rear shoulders, and biceps as you pull the upper bar towards your body.
	Seated Chest Press This piece provides an optimal range of motion while you lift part of your body weight as resistance. This equipment develops strength in the chest, front of the shoulders, and triceps.
	Sit-Up Board This piece is effective for abdominal exercises and back stretches.
	Leg Press An essential piece for developing leg strength, this equipment is effective in using your own weight for resistance. This double-sided piece offers two sizes for different user heights and resistance.
	Horizontal Bar A classic outdoor fitness piece, this is excellent for pull-ups or hanging in place. It strengthens the shoulders, biceps, hand grip, back, and chest.
	Pull-Up & Dip Station Use this multi-purpose station to perform pull-ups, push-ups, dips, leg lifts, as well as stretching. It's designed to improve strength and flexibility.
	Rowing Machine This piece offers a very fluid motion with great range. It uses a portion of your body weight as resistance and develops strength in your back, shoulders and biceps. It offers a great cardiovascular workout, as well.
	Squat Press This piece uses progressive resistance - the farther you extend, the more difficult it gets. Safer than free weights, you can perform biceps curls, should shrugs, traditional squats, and squat-into-shoulder press.
