Last August (2024), Leibert Park in Upper Nazareth Township unveiled something new for Lehigh Valley fitness enthusiasts. If you are looking for a full-body workout that doesn’t take a full day, set aside about seven minutes and visit this free fitness court just behind the municipal building at 100 Newport Avenue.

The fitness court provides seven movement zones that allow you to exercise different muscle groups for a brief but effective workout. The court wall displays examples of effective movements in each zone, and QR codes open you up to different workout routines.

The fitness court is available during normal park hours, which are dawn to dusk.

The court measures approximately 70 feet by 30 feet, roughly one-quarter the size of a football field. There is also a new half-mile walking trail that runs around the court.

Residents hope that the area’s youth will be motivated to use the fitness court. Screens are keeping more kids inside instead of in the parks, where they can exercise more than their thumbs.
