It’s Saturday and sunny which means the neighbor kids will likely head over to the now snow free playground. They’ll walk or bike there. Other kids will arrive and there will be plenty of fun for all with the mix of toys, soccer and foot balls, swings, etc.

Anybody got an idea how to create a neighborhood playground for adults?

(PS – this may seem a little wacky and not science based, but the goal is to say winning ideas can be outlandish if they help us get healthy!)

Adult size monkey bars

I think it's fun to get play like a kid when the opportunity arises. Would be fun to see some adult-sized monkey bars or tetherballs. Make it fun for the adults to exercise while their kids are playing at the parks. I appreciated random pull-up bars or places to do sit ups and planks when out for a run when I lived in a larger city.
