Overview

Ridge Pointe Park is a 21-acre park that serves as a flat open field for soccer practice and open play. It features two playgrounds, outdoor Fitness Court®, sand volleyball court, walking path, backstop, rentable pavilion and a “Little Free Library” where you can share your books with others in the neighborhood.

The Ridge Pointe Pavilion is available for rent year-round. It has heat and air conditioning. Find more details about renting this space at Waukee.org/Registration. 

Fitness Court is Open for Use

A new outdoor Fitness Court with seven different workout stations has been added to Ridge Pointe Park. It is free to use during park hours. Please be mindful of neighbors and other people in the park. Keep noise, such as playing music, at a low volume. 

This outdoor bodyweight circuit training system has shock-resistant sports flooring and supports functional fitness movements that can be completed in just seven minutes. 7 Movements in 7 Minutes is a simple yet powerful workout created for a range of athletic abilities and is optimally performed on the Fitness Court. Developed by experts in the field, each exercise takes 45 seconds, with a 15-second interlude between sets. 

Some important rules to protect you, other people and the court:

  1. You must be at least 14 years old and weigh less than 300 pounds to use the equipment.
  2. You are responsible for any accidents, injuries, or illnesses that may occur when you use the Fitness Court.
  3. Do not bring bikes, scooters, rollerblades, skateboards or similar devices onto the Fitness Court. They will damage the Fitness Court surface and are not safe for use on the facility. 
  4. Pets are not allowed on the Fitness Court. 
  5. Wear proper footwear and avoid wet surfaces. 
  6. Prepare for the weather and adjust your workout accordingly, particularly on very hot or very cold days.
  7. Be smart and safe about working out. Before you start any new exercise program, consider consulting a physician or qualified healthcare provider. Stop immediately if you feel dizzy, lightheaded or short of breath. Seek medical attention if needed.  

Anyone can download the free app to have access to a variety of workouts tailored to different ages and abilities.
