The latest addition to the Morris Williams Reserve in Bulleen, Victoria, is a range of outdoor fitness equipment from Replas. Manningham Council, who installed the equipment, found the process easy and the result now greatly adds to the amenity of the reserve.

Outdoor exercise equipment provides an opportunity for self-guided exercise and is a lasting investment for the reserve. The equipment, constructed from recycled plastic, is not only safe and hygienic, but with no moving parts requires minimal on-going maintenance.
