A not so leisurely walk along the Prom-Prom-Prom!

This fabulous idea came to my attention when some friends recently spent a holiday in Spain ... here's what they had to say:

 

"My wife and I consider ourselves as active elderly people and we often enjoy long walks on various esplanades, whenever we get the chance."

 

We recently visited Marbella on the Costa del Sol and we were very pleased to encounter a 'playground for grown-ups' on the beach front ... in theory a health activity area for adults only (the sign clearing advised 'no children allowed'). A sturdily made playground, painted in eye-catching yellow and red, with nordic walkers, waist stretchers, thigh strengtheners, for those wanting to exert some energy ... and all totally free of charge!

 

Needless to say we took advantage of this unheralded facility and only wished that local councils in the UK provided similar healthy options for visitors and residents."

 

As you can see from the images, full use of the facilities was made. I'm off there in the Autumn and will have a go myself!

 

I think this is a great idea for the South Coast. What do you think? A new stance on Public Open Space?
