London opens first exercise playground for elderly

simplyred1962 · May 19, 2010

LONDON - London has opened its first exercise playground for older people, with specially designed fitness equipment to help the capital's aging baby boomers stay fit.
Organizers say people lined up at central London's Hyde Park beginning early Wednesday to use the equipment, which includes a sit-up bench, a cross-trainer and a stationary bicycle.
The playground is aimed at people over 60, although the gentle exercise also helps patients recovering from operations.
Madeline Elsdon, whose local residents' association won funding for the playground, said the idea was to provide a friendly outside gym where older people can socialize while exercising.
The playground is free and modeled on similar play areas for the elderly in other European countries
