There is also a small, enclosed junior play area, which is expected to be removed later in 2020 to improve views across Stowe Pool and Lichfield Cathedral.
Stowe Gym
Outdoor all-weather gym
Stowe Gym is free for everyone to use. It features cardio, tone and chill out zones – with equipment such as a leg press, a sit ups bench and a chest press.
The gym was developed, thanks to the fundraising efforts of the Rotary Club of Lichfield St Chad – a club of volunteers who work to improve the quality of life in their local and wider communities. The club raised £17,000 to build the gym, through events such as the ever popular Cars in the Park.
Great views!
Walking and jogging loop
There is an exercise loop around Stowe Pool and Stowe Fields that is roughly one-mile. There are way markers at quarter of a mile intervals to help you keep track of your progress.
