Slacklining – Defying Gravity While Exercising at Lake Merritt

On the weekends and on an occasional weekday, friends and groups get together to perform gravity defying feats on webbing tensioned between trees near the Lake Merritt Columns. Similar to tightrope walking, but with more bounce in the line, slacklining strengthens core muscles, hones in on balance and allows a lot of possibility for creative moves while exercising.
