Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

You're basically describing a park. And we have tons of parks all over the country. They are regularly full of people going out to use them for exercise and entertainment. Idk if there's a correlation between "distance from a public park" and "health outcomes of local residents". But they're attractive amenities that people tend to enjoy, even without a numerical cost-savings figure you can use to justify their expense.

Maybe, I do think there's a difference. A gym exists solely for exercise and clearly people prefer to use them over parks and I assume the health return for time spent is greater for dedicated gyms.

Maybe, I do think there’s a difference.

There are parks with full blown gym setups in them. All body weight exercises and resistance machines, for practical reasons. But they exist.

Not really where I live. In my experience those kinds of parks are in rich outer suburban areas
