VOICED: Pensioners put through the paces in outdoor London gym

The video discusses the introduction of playgrounds for pensioners in London, designed to promote fitness and social interaction among the elderly. These playgrounds, featuring equipment like cross trainers and flex wheels, are part of a growing trend across Europe, with the first opening in Berlin in 2008. Funded largely by local councils, these spaces aim to encourage exercise and community engagement among older adults. The initiative has been well-received, with hopes for expansion to more parks, offering a unique blend of nature and fitness for the elderly.
