<br />Parks & Facilities <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />SNOHOMISH COUNTY ILA CAPITAL PROJECT <br />PROJECT NAME: HANNABROOK PARK: NATURE FITNESS TRAIL PROJECT <br /> <br />PROJECT SUMMARY <br /> <br />The Everett Parks PROS Plan adopted in 2022 identifies the development <br />of trails and fitness activities as two of the top opportunities that will <br />benefit park users most. Hannabrook Park is specifically highlighted as a <br />park with opportunities for further enhancements that will complement <br />the natural elements of the park, including an existing half-mile soft trail <br />around the park, popular with walkers and runners. Leveraging these <br />existing amenities, The City of Everett Parks and Facilities endeavors to <br />create its first Nature Fitness Trail at Hannabrook Park. <br />The original fitness trail, or sometimes known as Parcours, was first <br />introduced in Europe in the 1960s by a Swiss architect. The concept <br />migrated to the U.S. around 1972 and has become a mainstay of outdoor <br />fitness programs, with a resurgence in popularity in the past five years. <br />Fitness trails are comprised of a path with outdoor exercise stations <br />and/or equipment installed along its length. <br />Integrated with the existing trail, the goals for the Hannabrook fitness trail <br />are: <br />Improve components of fitness such as balance, coordination, and <br />strength. <br />Provide fitness opportunities that will be suitable for all levels of <br />fitness, including youth and adults and meets 2010 ADA <br />Standards. <br />Promote multi- and inter-generational outdoor fitness <br />Encourage lifelong appreciation for both outdoor fitness and <br />recreational activities. <br />Bring increased awareness and visibility to the important <br />stormwater function of this park facility. <br />Each exercise station will provide a placard with basic and simple <br />instructions on how to use each station. With 120 different exercises <br />across the five stations, exercises are designed to focus on upper body, <br />lower body, balance & coordination or climbing/jumping equipment <br />designed to test the whole body. <br />Hannabrook Park is in the Viewridge/Madison neighborhood, at 5815 <br />Brookridge Blvd in Everett.
