Three heights of pull-up bars, wooden monkey bars, and balance beams. A basic but peaceful place to train outdoors in Lavendon, Buckinghamshire.
Quick Links:
Where Is Lavendon Outdoor Gym?
You can find this outdoor gym at Lavendon Playing Fields, near the playground and village school in Lavendon, Olney MK46 4HA. It’s a quiet location ideal for solo training or low-key fitness routines. If you're in Olney, Newport Pagnell, or the surrounding Milton Keynes area, it's a short drive away.
What Equipment Is Available?
Compared to larger calisthenics parks, Lavendon is a minimalist setup, but it still covers the essentials:
Three Pull-Up Bar Heights
- Perfect for beginners and advanced users alike
- Use the lowest bar for practicing decline work or skill progressions
- Middle and top bars great for muscle-ups, static holds, and leg raises
Wooden Monkey Bars
- Unique structure built from timber
- Great for swing work, grip training, or explosive transitions
Balance Beams
- Ideal for warm-ups, mobility drills, or agility work
Is It Worth Visiting?
Let’s be honest. Lavendon Outdoor Gym won’t win awards for equipment variety, but what it offers is:
- A quiet, safe location
- Basic but effective equipment
- A good training vibe for calisthenics purists
There’s also a playground nearby, so if you're a parent trying to squeeze in some pull-ups while the kids play, this spot works well.
For serious calisthenics athletes, this may not replace a full street workout setup, but for locals or anyone exploring calisthenics near Olney or Milton Keynes, it’s a handy backup spot.
Local Tip: Post-Workout Pub Stop?
Lavendon is a proper English village, and that means good pubs. If you're feeling a cheeky pint after a workout there is a Greene King nearby. And yes, the fact I'm talking about the nearby pub means there's not much going on in this place.
Final Thoughts
Lavendon Outdoor Gym is not flashy, but it gets the job done. Whether you're drilling fundamentals, working on pull-ups, or doing some light conditioning, this park gives you space to train without distractions.
