Does anybody know if Boston has outdoor bar gyms in a park anywhere in the city?

See video for reference:

Functionalps Outdoor Bar Workout - Simi Valley CA - YouTube

The weather is getting good (not today tho), it'd nice to be able to throw in an outdoor work out into my schedule from time to time.

Yes, there's one on the Esplanade. I go by it almost everyday and it's an ok one - in good shape and on a rubbery surface.

I read the new Q Square park in Fort Point/Seaport Square has outdoor gym equipment and a half basketball court, but I haven't been over to investigate yet.

It's about 1.5 miles West of the Shell. If heading west, you'll pass the Harvard Bridge (which is Mass Ave), about 1/2 mile after that you'll see it on your right (if you are heading west). There is a ramp (goes over Storrow to get you to BU and Comm Ave via Silber Way) on your left side less than 50 feet after it. It's a good place because you can run/ride on the path and then hit the workout area. I run a few miles to and from work a few days a week and hit the area (when I have time) for about 15 min on my way home for some pullups, ab work, etc.

If you look at a map (google maps should be just fine), look for an area called the Charles River Reservation II. Zoom in and you'll see the ramp that goes over Storrow. If you can find that ramp or the small patch of grass called Charles River Reservation II, you'll have no trouble seeing the workout area.
