A short clip, in your own words, about why this would matter. We'll use it on our socials alongside other local people.
What Luton Fitness Park is
We're a grassroots organisation (CIC), led by local people, campaigning for a free outdoor fitness park in Luton.
Not a private gym. No membership. Always open.
The park will have wheelchair-friendly equipment for beginners through to more advanced users, plus a Time Together rig inspired by the Women in Sport campaign, so the space is welcoming for women.
The proposed equipment page has the full list if you want the detail.
The idea is that it's a welcoming space where people from all walks of life can move, connect and belong. The first site would be in central Luton, which is easiest to reach by public transport and where inequality, poverty, and antisocial behaviour are most concentrated. The exact location is still being agreed with the council.
We've been in the local press, and we're collecting a petition from 1% of Luton's population so the council has to debate it and take us seriously. We're also writing a business proposal so we can apply for funding to build the first park.
Why Luton needs it
Nationally, 1 in 4 adults is physically inactive, and 1 in 6 deaths in the UK is linked to inactivity. Luton lives with serious health and wealth inequalities. There are plenty of gyms, but not everyone can afford them.
A free outdoor gym, with no membership, would give the whole town a place to move, and families a place to exercise together. Come in daylight, and bring a friend or your children if you want.
Teenagers get a real third space: somewhere to train, belong, and be seen, and a positive way to channel their time and energy.
A park like this helps regenerate neglected parts of the town. More footfall, more eyes. Over time, that makes the area feel safer.
We have a proposal page with the stats, if you're interested.
What we'd love from you
A short video, in your own words. 30–60 seconds is enough. Don't make it feel like an advert. The strongest clip says why this matters, who it helps, why you care, and what people can do.
You need to be 16 or over and live in Luton. You don't need a script. Say what's actually true for you.
1. Why it matters
Start with the reason. Say who you are, and why this park matters in Luton.
- Women: “Women being active matters in our community. I'm [your name], and I support Luton Fitness Park.”
- Men: “Men having a free place to train matters here too. I'm [your name], and I support Luton Fitness Park.”
2. The impact
Say who it would help. Pick the points that are true for you.
Women and girls

3. Personal connection
Say why you care, in your own words. You don't need to memorise a line.
- Women: “Every woman should have the chance to feel comfortable being active and looking after her health.”
- Men: “Every man should have somewhere to train and look after his health, without paying for a gym.”
