Since the installation of outdoor gym equipment in Bengaluru’s public parks starting from Sankey Tank in 2015, their popularity among residents, especially homemakers and the elderly, has soared. However, due to negligence in maintenance by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) and insufficient user education, most of these gyms have fallen into disrepair. Residents like Somanna M. from Varadharaja Nagar highlight prolonged damage and lack of BBMP repairs. While efforts are underway in South Bengaluru to refurbish equipment with a ₹3.6 crore budget, issues persist citywide.
