The shift in lifestyle preferences of the younger generation, who increasingly value fitness and social interaction, has created a demand for outdoor fitness facilities in public areas, such as city parks. Calisthenics has emerged as a popular and effective exercise choice in such facilities. However, most potential users are beginners who face challenges in accessing and utilizing the facilities according to their initial fitness level. This study aims to address these challenges and provide solutions for developing outdoor calisthenics facilities that are accessible, inclusive, and supportive for beginners. The study introduces the concept of progressive calisthenics, emphasizing a gradual increase in difficulty and challenge, applied to the design and use of the equipment. By promoting inclusiveness and social interaction, the aim is to create a facility that caters to various segments of society, fostering an active and interactive community. Utilizing literature review, observation, interviews, and data analysis, the study seeks to design an optimal outdoor calisthenics fitness facility that not only meets the needs of beginners but also supports their growth and long-term participation while concurrently promoting social interaction.
