Robert, this is a great idea. Yes we need several in Ealing. I hope that nice man Mr Jason Stacey at the Council is listening.Problem would be those nasty youngsters would want to have a go - by youngsters, I mean those under 60 years old!

I'll stick with excercising grey matter.

We have excercising and walking in the parks now in Barnet,organised by the LBofB, although no apparatus as in Manchester.Bit like the old Chinese Communist Regiem's 'Strength through Joy' excercises as practiced in Beijing. Nothing wrong with that, something to be leaned from I would think.

I saw these in China and thought they were good.  Dont know if we can afford them here just yet.  We do organise activities for the over 50s like walking groups etc.

Isn't Northala Park an exercise ground?One can't drive to the top.For upper limb (arms, then) exercises maybe draught beer or cider should be sold in litres. Persons drinking directly from  bottles should be placed in the childrens' play areas.

I think they look great but as I have a while to go until I'm 60 I'd be jealous!

I agree with Lynn...I would be so jealous.I long for a grown-up Wacky Warehouse - why on earth to people think that if you're over 12 you stop wanting to have good clean fun???

Jane Salisbury ● 6805d

Possibly because most of us want good dirty fun!
