Spending time outside the home is an innate need that improves both mental and physical health.
When we spend enjoyable time outdoors, we not only feel better but have higher levels of concentration, imagination, improved decision-making and problem-solving ability,
Creative thinking is more and more developed (it goes beyond feeling – it’s a fact that science backs up).
Spending time outside the home benefits all aspects of health and has positive outcomes, including reducing stress and increasing general well-being.
Outdoor spaces have become more important over the past two years, especially recently, in our search for places to travel, spend time having new experiences, exercise, play and be together in open spaces.
In recent years they discovered that when we are all outside, we need more green spaces, parks, playgrounds and recreation areas so that we can accommodate everyone and allow people of all ages and abilities to experience the benefits of enjoying the outdoors.
The benefits of creating green spaces and outdoor amusement parks are enormous and encourage children’s development and intergenerational involvement, contributing to better community health and increasing family values.
We know that children develop through games and when they play with pleasure, their overall development is better in all areas.
Through play, children learn social, emotional, cognitive and communication skills while developing physically, learning and solving problems creatively. All these are important skills that the children experience in their youth and will benefit them greatly in the future.
Adults and children can also develop together through play. Intergenerational involvement strengthens communities and brings together generations for activities that are not only fun but improve communication skills and improve everyone’s motor skills.
Physical training in playgrounds and green spaces is an excellent way to encourage people of all ages for healthy and enjoyable activity.
The obstacle courses in the play facilities are challenging at different levels of difficulty and provide a fun way for children, families and communities to train and play at the same time.
High-quality and challenging game facilities are designed at different levels, depending on the abilities of the trainees. Obstacle courses create motivation to compete with ourselves and others, which is reflected in popular culture and encourages television programs and competitive events that attract a wide audience.
In the playgrounds , everyone can exercise according to their personal physical ability and according to the existing facilities. Can be perfected and added to training through simple exercises.
For example, plyometric jumps are difficult exercises, but can still be performed using a simple plyometric block that is part of the obstacle course.
Adding push-ups or burpees before or after a workout is another way to increase the difficulty and add challenges to strengthen the heart muscle, blood vessels and strength.
Another advantage of the playgrounds and fitness is that people can be creative and adjust the training and challenge themselves and those around them.
The health and well-being of the community is affected by the variety of recreation spaces that exist within it. Studies prove that communities where there are spaces for physical activity are more successful.
Obesity rates are 10% lower, people smoke less, about 18% of residents have less high blood pressure and the percentage of healthy people is higher.
The communities that invest in the construction of playgrounds and recreation areas see achievements and a higher economic advantage. They also attract more tourists, businesses, festivals, conferences and other events to the area, while giving residents a higher quality of life,
Also making their communities more attractive places to live and work.
Creating green spaces and play facilities also brings well-being and a good atmosphere to the community.
They have places for the general public to exercise and improve their fitness at no cost. For children and adults, the spaces become more accessible to people from different socio-economic backgrounds.
Placing outdoor musical instruments enriches the open spaces and are part of the enjoyable experience in the playgrounds . This confers social, cognitive, and emotional benefits derived from the musical experience and learning.
When all community residents have access to health and educational opportunities, it uplifts the entire community.
Increased thinking is required for the development of diverse game and sports facilities in the open spaces that meet the needs of the community.
Playgrounds are always available in spaces, even when there are changes in personal life. This provides security especially in a society that has economic or security instability.
Playgrounds and recreation areas in the public gardens are essential for personal and community development and we need more spaces that contain a variety of amusement and sports facilities adapted to all ages.
