Outdoor Swing Sets and Playgrounds for Older Adults in Indianapolis?

Learn More About What a Senior Move Manager in Indianapolis Does

Imagine if, as an older adult, you moved into a new home or community in Indy or Carmel and discovered that just down the street there was a playground - but one for senior citizens or baby boomers? A playground complete with swings, a teeter-totter and other fun equipment designed specifically for adults. How cool would that be?

It's a fascinating new concept that I came across recently and one which is gaining popularity in places across the globe. While the idea hasn't quite caught on in the United States, I can't help but think this is an idea whose time has come, and a fantastic way for all older adults to more easily exercise.

The way the playgrounds are setup can vary in each neighborhood or suburb in Indianapolis. While an adult playground in Fishers might be focused more on fun, with nothing but adult swings and jungle gyms, another playground next to someplace like the canal in downtown Indy could feature outdoor exercise equipment similar to that found in a gym, but more durable, waterproof and brightly colored.

I, for one, would like to encourage all officials at the local city park and recreation departments to consider such options in the future. What a fabulous addition this would make to public parks all across the area, from Eagle Creek Park to Broad Ripple to Bethel Park and beyond.

Additionally, I think it's a beautiful idea for the many senior retirement communities in Indianapolis to implement outdoors along their walkways and other recreational areas. As a senior move manager in Indianapolis, someone who advises and helps older adults downsize and move into new homes, I would be far more likely to recommend a community or neighborhood that included a recreational area like this!

And don't you think a local playground for senior adults would increase your neighborhood's real estate property values? If you know of someone involved in city or county government in your area, please forward this blog post to them.

So, the next time you buy a house in Marion County or anywhere across the Indianapolis area, ask the real estate agent if there's an adult playground in the neighborhood. It'll be worth it just to see the look on his face.
