Hamilton County Parks and Recreation has announced the addition of SOMAstation outdoor fitness equipment at Prather Park in Carmel.
The SOMAstation, funded by the Hamilton County Health Department and similar to the one installed at Cool Creek Park, is adjacent to the park’s new playground, which was installed last year.
According to parks department officials, the placement allows parents and caregivers to exercise while supervising children at play, while also encouraging community interaction and engagement.
“The playground and new SOMAstation equipment at Prather Park work together to create a space that encourages both play and connection,” Hamilton County Parks and Recreation. Director Chris Stice stated. “The SOMAstation’s unique ‘partners in play’ design promotes physical activity while also encouraging adults to interact and engage with one another as they exercise.”
The fitness area includes a variety of equipment designed to support strength, flexibility and overall wellness for users of different ages and abilities.
