問題詳情:
The UK’s first playground specifically for older people has opened near Manchester.
The “older people’s play area” in Dam Head Park, Blackley, in north Manchester, features six pieces of equipment—featuring the slogan “Never too old to play”—designed to provide gentle exercise.
The playground, which officially opened yesterday after being tested by locals aged over 70, cost span >15,000 to build.
Established by the Dam Head Residents Association, it includes equipment for upper body exercise, training leg muscles, hip exercise, and stomach and leg training. Some of the equipment is accessible to wheelchair users.
The equipment was installed after Peggy Yuill, treasurer of the residents association, saw a newspaper article about a similar facility in Germany. Funding was provided from Northwards Housing, which runs the local estate.
Gordon Lishman, director general of the charity Age Concern, said the playground could help older people maintain good physical and mental helth.
He said :”A well-designed fitness park could be a great way to encourage older people to exercise and socialize.
“Exercising a few times a week can make a big difference to someone’s health and doesn’t have to be tiring.
“Equally, socializing with others can help to lighten feelings of loneliness and depression.
“Many older people aren’t exercising enough and we are really eager for local authorities to offer a range of accessible and affordable facilities that promote physical activity in later life.”
