Playground for… retirees

There is a playground in a Manchester park… retirees. “A playground for older people” in Blackley, it's packed with gear, where you can stretch and stretch your legs and exercise your upper body. There are six devices for gentle exercise adapted to old age. It was created thanks to the efforts of the inhabitants, inspired by a similar place in Germany – reported by the BBC. Before it was opened, locals after 70. tried the equipment. A place for the elderly is located right next to the children's playground. 76-Summer Joan Fitzgerald, president of the local residents association believes, that it is “great fun”. – Everyone should come and try, because man is never too old to play. It's about health and exercise. Lots of older people don't like going to the gym – he said.
