Are we ever to old to play?
Ever since my kids and nephews grew up, I have found myself missing the excuse of playing in ball pools, going on see saws, swings, slides & roundabouts. When I was young a lot of the kids play areas/equipment didn’t exist.
If ever I am passing a kids play area and no one is around I cant resist walking along the rope walk way, having a go on the monkey bars, or giving the swings a quick try…….
I wish someone would invent ADULT play areas for big kids like me .. I did do Ariel extreme a few years ago but too difficult with vertigo and acrophobia!
So am I the only one who’d love a play area? If not what would you want in yours?

My longing is for the dolls that I use to have as a child, they are not made anymore, they were “walking ” dolls, well there legs moved when we walked them, I use to spend hours styling their hair……..never thought in those days to keep them…….I can see myself styling their hair and reliving childhood memories again if only I could get my hands on one…….the swings, yes I would have a sneaky go if there was no one around, wouldn’t want reporting for using children’s equipment though…..
I still have My Tiny Tears from 1966 I also have a bouncing tigger and a doll house 🙂
I agree ohcarol, I think an adult playground would be great fun, even at the age of 80, I think I could still enjoy some things.
Though it might be more difficult as I do have quite bad balance problems.
well that’s just it we could adapt the lay equipment to have comfy seats and safety harnesses 🙂
oooh and an escalator to the top of the slide 🙂 AND a foam slide so we don’t get splinters in our bum! 😉
Never lose the sense of fun no matter how idiotic it may seem, life is for enjoying so go for it and do what a lot of people wish they didn’t have inhibitions that prevent them letting their hair down!
Oh no I never will 🙂
I go to a couple of holiday parks, that have play areas, under the guise of ‘keep fit’ areas, and we have goes on them. We usually persuade other passing adults to come and have goes, and quite a few do. With a little guilty look over their shoulders, feeling rather that it is taboo. Great laughter all round, when they do . The swings and see saws are quite popular with the adults. Having great grandchildren is my excuse!
Never too old to play. It just means maybe the type of games will change with time
I loved playing with my dolls and still have my Bride doll that I got for Christmas . I don’t remember what year I got her but it was between 6 and 10 years old. I keep her inside a sealed plastic bag. I never played with her and just had her sitting on my chair in my bedroom. Her veil has detreated but I replaced it with a new veil that I made for her head out of netting. KODAK Digital Still Camera
I dont play with dolls etc., but have large teddy bear sitting in my room on a little cane chair. If no one is around would sit on swing and enjoy a short time swinging back and forth! never too old!!
The trick is to take your grandchildren to the park. Then use the equipment under the guise of assisting the kids.
I don’t have any grandkids ?And my grandoggy daughter doesn’t like the swing park 🙂
Well yes – I would have a set of football goalposts -with net, and somebody to fetch the ball when I missed the goal – I would if I could! – A bit one sided though!
hahahaha Drummer maybe just a wall of trampolines so your ball bounced straight back?
What a good idea!
