It wants to explore how outdoor gyms located in the urban parks work as platforms where people gather together to spend their leisure time and to understand how the process of interactions looks like. In general, it tries to answer the research question of: How to understand social processes happening in the urban outdoor gyms in Warsaw? What follows is the second question: What kind of enduring processes can develop from social interactions? This research focuses on three cases, three different neighborhoods with diverse social structure, therefore another issue important for this research is the contrast between them. It may be assumed that the social surrounding has an impact on the way people behave and interact with one another.
