Bhubaneswar, May 5:Continuing its strategy to provide better health and lifestyle practices, the
Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA) has now got facilities of Open Air Gym
at 15 parks across the city. Two years ago, the city had started with one such
facility at Buddha Jayanti Park, which later became five.
The development authority had introduced the Open Air Gym
concept in the city to instil the daily exercising plan in everybody’s
lifestyle as most of the citizens were not active physically, but after the
spread of this concept there has been a dramatic rise in the footfall in the
park and people from all walks of life are using the equipment and stay
healthy.
