But times have changed, and the world of urban furniture is no exception. Of course, the sports equipment for cities has also evolved. Now we can find many more options:

• Classic sports equipment. Yes, we are still finding basketball baskets, goals of futsal and ping-pong tables. But the materials have changed. For starters, they are safer, to avoid cracks and deformations, resistant to atmospheric phenomena and the bad uses.
• Sports circuits. In many parks, we can find circuits outdoors with interesting elements of sports, usually constructed in laminated wood treated in autoclave. We can find different devices to practice various exercises: abdominal, push-ups, pulses, jumping and balance, high jump, squat, pedal, etc.

• Skate Park. Skating practiced properly provides the same benefits as any physical activity. And the place to practice with a skate is a Skate Park. It is a place which also becomes a meeting place.
• Beach volleyball. Another novelty in recent years and that requires minimal installation. Ideal for the beach only requires two galvanized steel poles single thick to ensure a virtually indestructible installation. Both posts have welded a guide on running a regulator truck with network anchors. The network is taut with tension. Both posts have small flags to indicate wind direction.
• Climbing walls. A climbing wall is a specifically prepared for climbing in order to avoid having to move to a mountain installation. It is equipped with dams and insurance. Its shape and size can be free or be influenced by the building where it is housed. They can be constructed in various forms: metal + polyester reinforced fiberglass, metal and wood structure, metal structure and concrete.
