A leisurely walk along the Prom-Prom-Prom!

Mr D of Worthing wrote in with this fabulous idea after recently spending a holiday in Spain …

 

“My wife and I are EAP’s (Elderly Active 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 think this is a great idea for the South Coast, particularly along the Worthing promenade where I live.”

 I’d like to know what you think? A new stance on Public Open Space?
