In the German city Nyurbernge runs an unusual site - the entrance to it is severely limited by the voting age - there are only allowed those who had turned ... 60. Yes exactly by the German community of retirees agreed to stimulate the interest of older people to live. Unfortunately, it often turns out that after retirement people are left out of life, they have nowhere to go have fun and in general society does not care much about how older persons live. But back to the site. Its roots lie in the ideas formerly held by Finnish scientists experiment. For people aged 65 to 80 years was built with the same platform gaming facilities, as well as any child: Tunnels, mazes, trampolines, swings, slides and much more. After 3 months, during which a group of subjects actively mastered the unusual exercise equipment in all of them showed a significant improvement of health and fitness, of course.
And although the experiment was pursued purely mercantile purpose - to test the market sporting designs for adults - after which they were put into production, the goal of building sites in Nuremberg, primarily to help retire to enjoy life.
On it are courts for badminton, inline skating, jogging paths, bowling alley, a platform for playing chess, and more.
In my opinion, a wonderful idea. And although many parks we have in Russia and so spontaneously occupied by pensioners (at least, there is always a "penny", where they are going to play a game or two in chess, and just chat) would be much better if such meetings would be also created some conditions. Say what you like, and attention to older people in our society are deprived.
