"If you're bundled properly then it's not that bad, plus you're breaking out a little of a sweat because you're exercising," says Lauren Bednarz-Scott.
Only a few other residents were seen working out at the park.
Officials warn that anyone heading out should layer up because frostbite can set in fast during the subzero temperatures.
