The rapid proliferation of the outdoor fitness parks drives to this research which is aimed at reporting information about the users of these spaces in the city of Granada in order to find out about their motivations and habits. When collecting the information, a survey with closed-ended questions was conducted to a sample of 425 users in three different parks. The majority of these users were people over 40 years old, mostly women. However, the number of users aged between 18 and 34 years old is on the rise. As for the most outstanding motivations, the parks are considered an option to improve health as well as to counteract the sedentary lifestyle or merely enjoy the pleasure of it.
