Poll: Would You Use a Playground for Older People?
They're popping up around the country
Playgrounds for older people have been popping up for years in Spain and in the United Kingdom.
"It's very social," says one physical therapist. "[We] want to break the myth of the old person coming to the park and just sitting while grandkids play, and then going home. Kids can also have fun here. It's intergenerational."

About 50 of these playgrounds now exist in the United States, too, thanks to a nonprofit called Kaboom (in conjunction with Humana).
If one of these playgrounds popped up in your neighborhood, would you consider using one?
