The purpose of the master's thesis was to analyze public outdoor exercise areas in the 17 district communities [ČS] of the City Municipality of Ljubljana [MOL]. We prepared a comprehensive overview of all "islands of sport," outdoor fitness areas, and trim trails in MOL, and provided appropriate descriptions along with visual documentation. Locations of these areas were also marked on a map, and we proposed potential improvements. Field analysis showed that MOL, in line with the Sports Strategy 2018–2028, is successfully implementing the programs Gremo na telovadbo na otoke športa (Let’s Go Exercise on the Islands of Sport«) and Dnevni centri aktivnosti za starejše (Daily Activity Centers for the Elderly) Ljubljana. These are among the programs run under the brand Gremo na šport (Let’s Go Sport). With this, MOL promotes physical literacy among its residents and strives to increase the share of citizens who engage in regular physical activity—at least twice per week. We believe this can serve as an important tool for promotional and preventive programs aimed at maintaining and improving public health, and that this example of good practice could be followed by other municipalities in Slovenia.
