Pensioner's Play Area

This post is talking about how the UK government has splashed out $30000 on a specially designed PLAY AREA for the elderly! $30,000!!! the play area looks like a child's play area but it has specially designed equipment that intends to strengthen hips, tone legs and train the upper body. can you honestly imagine your nan or grandad down at the park toning their legs on a tractor on a spring?!! but anyway maybe I'm wrong. one resident describes the equipment as "great, it's laugh-a-minute."



good times are coming to a park near you!
