Young at Heart: Germany's First Playground for Seniors - International - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News
Imagine a playground in the middle of the park. One on which there are signs clearly indicating that this should not be used by those aged under 55. You'd think it strange, wouldn't you? Well, this latest idea has popped up in Germany. A playground for the elderly, where they can use several of the fixed features for gentle exercise and limb movement. It all goes to help those who find it difficult to exercise and who cannot compete with the pressures or prices of a gym. So now they can waltz down to the park and play in the playground, while the kids nominally should simply look on and then they can feel well enough to walk back home (hopefully). Only later during the twilight hours do the kids dare venture onto this new phenomenon.
I think its amazing idea and should be adapted and adopted in Britain. Only just dont let the elderly people have any black markers. Who knows what graffiti may appear on the apparatus!!
