The next time you drive pass a kids’ playground, keep your eye out for an adult-sized one nearby...
The European fitness trend is seeping into the states and adult playgrounds are cropping up in some of our big city communities, and beyond. It’s an attempt by health advocates to encourage couch potatoes to get outside and play. It’s also a great alternative for those who prefer not to share sweaty equipment in a stinky gym.
While some of the most popular sites in Europe have fancier equipment such as rock climbing walls, elephant slides and mazes, most adult playground state-side are starting small with standard equipment including monkey bars, chin-up bars, sit-up racks and balance beams. If there's a slide and swings, you're probably on the wrong playground.
