Those living a bus-pass away from Hyde Park, however, will soon have a ‘Pensioners Playground’ where they can go do some gentle exercise and make new friends.
The playground will include a cross-trainer, body-flexer, free runner, sit-up bench, flex wheel and static bike.
(I give it 2 days before local yobs have sprayed it with graffiti)
A spokesperson said -
‘As well as the physical and mental benefits we hope that the playground will encourage users to socialise and have fun together.
”People need to stay active, maintain independence and are never too old to play.”
Hhmm, giving the increasing proportion of pensioners in the population, the strain these ‘free-loaders’ are putting on the working population, and the frail, brittle bones of these auld codgers – are these pensioner playgrounds a cunning plan to ‘cull’ the elderly
