In relation to last week's story about skatepark improvements in Largs, at least the teens have a skatepark even if its not the greatest. So do the littleuns with pretty good play area at Mackerston. But what about the oldies? We started asking for an area with older adult fitness equipment ten years ago. Basically we were told to fund it ourselves and then pay for maintenance. Not something that is asked of users of the other equipment. There are quite a few of these fitness parks in the UK and they are very common overseas. If even a country as poor as Cuba can have them then why can't we?
