The Rankin Park is a great place to get up off the couch! The park has many activities that will simultaneously allow you to engage in outdoor sports, but also take advantage of having fun while being active. There are paths for cyclists and runners who want some daily exercise or use their lunch break as an opportunity to run around town; there's even an outdoor gym with cardio equipment so you can enjoy your breaks between classes at Diablo Vallery College - it's located right next door!
 

The outside environment helps make exercising easier by providing benches where fitness fanatics can rest after completing their workout. The fresh air is invigorating and allows you to do some deep breathing as well as enjoy the beautiful outdoors.
