French term or phrase: un parcours de santé
Context:

LES LOISIRS SUR PLACE

Trois piscines dont une chauffée, une pataugeoire, un jacuzzi, une aire de jeux pour les enfants, un parcours de santé, un espace fitness avec sauna, hammam et salle de musculation.

Anybody know what a parcours de sante is in English?

English translation:exercise path or fitness path
Explanation:
I think this might be preferable to the term "recreation field" because what is involved is a walking trail specially designed to provide opportunities to practice use of different muscles and test cardiovascular fitness, etc. as in the web-example below. A recreation field seems to refer to a playing field for different sports.
