Free gymnasium for senior citizens in Karnataka

From the archive record

Gone are the days when the neighbourhood park had a few slides, swings and a track for walkers/joggers. Authorities, it would seem, have awoken to the idea that children and adults alike are pressed for time and squeeze very little physical activity into their day-to-day routine. Which is, perhaps, why a large number of parks these days have adapted gym equipment like cross-trainers, hip twisters adn ski walkers, among others, in colourful yet weather-proof versions. What's interesting is that the city's senior citizen brigade has taken a shine to these parks and on a quick stroll through any such area in town they can be seen busy incorporating a little more than just a walk into their fitness routine. Going to an open gym is not only cost effective, it also allows me to enjoy nature and
