After remaining closed for years, the Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) in Rawalpindi has reopened the women's fitness facility at Gulzar Fatima Park, a spokesperson shared on Sunday. The gym located near Chandni Chowk had been closed a few years ago.
The PHA Vice Chairman Malik Abid Hussain said that the gym was reopened due to the interest and efforts of PHA Chairman Asif Mehmood. He mentioned that the chairman had visited Fatima and Bilal Parks in the garrison city and directed the staff to work diligently to turn parks into proper green spaces.
