Councilman Ritchie Torres was the first to try out the new Adult Fitness Equipment that was installed in Bronx Park East at the Arnow Avenue entrance next to the soccer field. Brand new pieces of Adult Fitness Equipment that you would see in a gym were installed at a cost of $292,000.00.
The first $200,000.00 was part of the yearly Participatory Budgeting Councilman Torres does, and the rest was placed in the budget by the city under the current mayor.
The Adult Fitness Equipment are a Double Chest Press, A Sit Up Bench, an Overhead Ladder, and a Cross Trainer.
