I found out about this from a story in the Bangkok Post. Unfortunately they were light on details about how to get there. parking is even more mysterious as you have to hope that you can find a spot on the street and hope that you're not going to get the boot on the car when you return. there are no signs yet, I hope they will be in the future, to tell you what stairway to go up. I tried two different ones each one putting me on the outside edge unable to access. Then I realized I had to go into a small part and then go up the stairs there.

Though it may not be designed as a work-out place, but it's highly recommended as a place to chill out, especially in the morning or evening (a Thai band also plays on a mini stage up there, probably on weekend evenings, but check it out again). The downside is the bathrooms are not there. There are not-very-well maintained ones at the foot of the bridge. The parking can be done along the kerbs nearby, or in the car park of a few temples in its...
