A Playground for Grownups #

January 30th, 2008 | In Worth Knowing 

I’ve long thought this would be a great idea, but I think designing it especially for people over 60 was a mistake. You got it half right, Manchester.

Instead of slides and roundabouts, it is equipped with machines specially designed to provide gentle exercise for different parts of the body such as hips, legs and torso.

The Massage offers upper body exercise, the Skate trains leg muscles, the Ski works the hips, while the Press tones the stomach and legs.

There are also stations for pull-ups, push-ups and pedalling and, to stretch the mind as well as the body, engravings of quotes from famous philosophers dotted around the park.
