In the 21st Century, we must lose the concept of cookie-cutter parks and playgrounds. Communities need the courage to advocate for creativity and innovation in the design of new multigenerational parks that consider the activities appropriate to all age groups. Multigenerational parks can become the focus of a community's recreational patterns and a source of considerable neighborhood pride. Artistic creativity, conceptual advances, innovative use of safe construction materials, and attention to landscaping detail all contribute to a park that appeals to every age group.
A multigenerational park is one that is designed for all ages and abilities. Multigenerational parks offer opportunities for all park users to increase physical activity with multiple activities of varying intensities.
Components of a multigenerational park:
- Opportunities for participants to engage in the four key elements of fitness: (aerobic activity, strength (muscular) training, balance (stability), and flexibility
- Hydration and relaxation stations
- ADA compliant facilities
