Old people's playground - what should be in it?

That's because there's no fighting allowed on National Trust property.

 

Yes, let's leave that to the English Heritage yobbos.

How about a long queue of cardboard cut outs that they can push-in at the front of?

A graffiti wall where they can write "I'm 84 you know..."

THey've brilliant exercise 'playgounds' for old people in China, with lots of simple but fun things to get the blood pumping - my favourite were sorta like cross-trainers that you swung on, I loved 'em! Of course, over there you see the old peeps out in the parks socialising and exercising at ridiculous o'clock in the morning, something I doubt you'd find happening over here...

 

Regardless, I doubt I'll ever be too old to enjoy swings, you can never have too many about the place, IMO!

I am intrigued by an item in the latest issue of 'In touch with Sheffield Homes'

 

Quote

'Some ideas currently being considered are:

Encouraging older people to be more active by providing a secure environment for an older person's play area'

 

So what might be in this play area, adult size swings and slides perhaps?

A sand pit and paddling pool?

 

Anyone have any more ideas?

 

Old people:hihi:

What about a supervised creche for the senile oldies?

[Cluffy74 10]

Do we not already have crown green bowling greens in most parks...

 

Like to see you at the likes of Meersbrook Park/Meersbrook Bowling Club or Bradfield Bowling club making comments like that

Nah...just leave at home alone to die and not be found for five years. Keeps them out of your hair at least.

Old people in China are great. I met a man called Mr Zebedee because he was a tai chi master and was all springy. He was in his 70s.

 

What about a general adult's playground though? The kids ones have got little climbing walls and ropes and bridges and all sorts, just scale 'em up and we can all play

if you build a cafe for them put plenty of sauce sachets and serviettes there so they can pinch them for home, have you ever seen them in action at motorway services?they can clean a shelf up quicker than locusts on a tree.................
