>The Department of Parks and Recreation for Druid Hill Park (Baltimore)
>spent about $50,000 on three workout stations (with ellipticals, leg
>presses, rowing machines, etc.) set about a quarter of a mile apart on
>the pathway along the reservoir in Druid Hill Park. All the machines are
>manually operated, and weight cannot be added or removed. How cool is
>that? The best part? It's free.

>The concept of free access to exercise equipment is something every city
>should adopt, especially with the growing rate of obesity. This way
>everyone, regardless of economic status, can have access to resistance
>and cardio equipment. Also, it gives options for those who would enjoy
>the machines, but can't stand the gym atmosphere.

>Oh, and if you're thinking Druid Hill Park, is that where the name of
>the R&B group Dru Hill comes from? You're absolutely right.
