WHAT WE FOUND:
The Verify team showed the image to Anne Radford, spokesperson for the county parks.
She said there is a Taco Bell Fitness Course located on the south end of Jefferson Barracks Park.
"Taco Bell wanted to give back to the community after the Great Flood of 1993, so they provided the funds for the fitness course," Radford said.
It includes fitness stations such as pull-up bars and wall climb along the trail.
We can verify this image is legit. There is a taco bell fitness course located in St. Louis County.
