Outdoor Pull Up Bar Locations?

Does anyone know of any outdoor pull up bars in the area? Preferably around North Dallas and next to a park.

I am looking to do some outdoors workouts, but Carrollton does not seem to have much outdoors workout equipment like Flower Mound, Colony, or Addison. Any tips are appreciated! Even if they are not necessarily pull up bars, but can be used the same way, I am interested lol

Struggling With Grip

I would like some guidance on how to hold the bar.

I have been weightlifting for 4 years, and started bodyweight training 3 months ago. Everything is going great, but I am limited by my grip when doing pull ups on a bar. I can deadhang for 45secs to 1min. It is more of a pain tolerance exercise than a grip one though. My palms hurt and feel like they are about to tear apart. My forearms are not really fatigued afterwards so I do not think they are giving out.

I don't hold the bar with my fingers. I wrap my palm around the bar and it sits somewhere around the middle of my palm. I try my best to evenly distribute the weight across my whole palm so the pain doesn't concentrate in one place. I then put my thumb on top of the bar. I am able to do around 8 pull ups before my palms tell me to stop. I get calluses across the top crease of my palm.

Does anyone have any tips or anything I should correct? If it's something that will just take time, I can accept that, but I also want to make sure I'm going in the right direction since it has improved very little since I started.

While I am practicing false grip, I do not wish to work around my grip weakness. I would like for my grip to strengthen and progress alongside the rest of my body.

Hello! I am looking for Android game recommendations. Please feel free to recommend me your games or games you enjoy that others have made. I do not mind paying for the game

I like adventure games, idlers, visual novels, horror, but I am open to any other genre. Just something that doesn't require too much finger dexterity haha
