Parks usually create a protective playground space for children to perform physical activity like jumping, running, and climbing. Specific spaces have rarely been created for older adults to perform physical activity in public parks. Now that park designs increasingly include outdoor exercise spaces for older adults, yet the important elements or considerations when designing this space remain unclear. Here, we present the emerging importance of and evidence for creating well-designed activity spaces for senior citizens in public parks in the era of population aging.
公园通常会为孩子们创造一个保护性的游乐空间，让他们进行诸如跳跃、跑步和攀爬等体育活动。专门为老年人在城市公园中进行体育活动而设计的特定空间却很少。如今，公园设计越来越多地纳入了老年人的户外锻炼空间，但在设计这个空间时的重要元素或注意事项仍不明确。在此，我们阐述了在人口老龄化时代为老年人在城市公园中打造精心设计的活动空间的重要性及相关证据。
