Proposed location of elderly fitness corner
|
RationaleThe current fitness corner at Bishan Park is located at the extreme right of the park, furthest away from Marymount Rd - majority of the elderly residents, who live closer to the middle of the park or those who come via Marymount will have to take a long walk in order to reach the current fitness corner. Also, the fitness corner is aimed towards a typical adult, with no special equipment to cater to the needs of the elderly.
With the increasing number of elderly in mind, as well as the fatigue they might experience from walking long distances, we suggest constructing a new fitness corner with suitable exercise machines at a suitable location, near the central area of the park so as to allow more elderly to be able to exercise at an accessible area. |
