A new idea of playground where you can have fun!

A park for fun. For down from replicas of the cartoons seen on TV and magazines, and running around outdoors with other children. But above all, a park to grow healthy in body because chronic diseases linked to obesity – in our country as throughout the West – are rampant among children. And even healthy in spirit, become adults with the idea that physical activity is good – and then practice it – can only improve life.
I am convinced pediatricians, increasingly committed to promote campaigns to ban the sedentary, the protagonists ‘miniature’ – a search of Coldiretti argues that, tested, small hoe to prefer the playstation – Green and Sports, the operational arm in branch sport of ‘Benetton’, as a social mission, encourages everyone to move, “under 6″ inclusive. Just for them has created a unique playground that is opening in Treviso on May 17.
Not a set of roundabouts, but an area of 2000 square meters with distances where the games are grouped by themes. There are those to develop the dexterity, mobility, balance. Taking into account different ages of children, because the tools that entertain those who bore three years certainly has six. Not to mention that grapple with unsuitable tools may be dangerous, “Because physical activity that ensures the proper growth – explains Maurizio Romano, director of the territory and promotion of the sport of cones – must be appropriate to the age of the child . Inappropriate movements during the growth can be harmful. ”
That Green Sports has thought of a collaboration with the National Olympic Committee. In the park every day, there will be teachers of cones that give advice to mothers and fathers: the games just to indicate the age of children, and a bit ‘as in the days of “Big Ben said stop, get back when the jacket and stop the ‘training’. Children who come home dirtier and sweaty, but more healthy and happy after being crawled or mobility in the area, jumped on trampolines in vines in balance and grabbed the manual. The model of ‘first sport, “a park for children 0-6 years is built following the guidelines developed by the Faculty of Physical Education, University of Verona. The idea came to George Buzzo, managing director of ‘The Ghirada “citadel of sport in Treviso:” The sport education be taught as soon as possible, it is heard everywhere, but nobody had thought of a playground children as a junior. We are confident that the project will be exported to other municipalities that will be limited to manage, with the provincial committees of the cones, the structures. Maintenance’ll do. ”
The objectives can not but affect those who care for the children – in Italy are around four million -: increase their ability to move, make sure that they learn to relate to and that appassionino sport fun. And secure. The tools are constructed of wood and other natural materials, the floor is waterproof and the area is fully monitored by cameras. If adding to electronic eyes lifted up, there are those human lower, but no less careful, the ‘watchful grandparents’ for wider social involvement the project, in neighborhoods where the parks will be built, collaboration the elderly. Grandparents will be there to ‘monitor’ and why not, to stretch his legs and arms.
