Brilio.net/en - We often associate playgrounds with children. Having said that, elderly communities in several cities across the world have been given access to their very own play areas too. With this rising trend, the ageing population can now relive their childhood memories all over again. More importantly, it gives them the leisure to get active so as to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Below are some of the ageing members of society who were in action at their hometown playgrounds.
