Adult Playgrounds

Play areas designed for grown-ups help to alleviate stress

Implications - Who says jungle gyms are meant only for children? Adults need some playtime too. Designers are incorporating these grown-up jungle gyms into architecture and public spaces, offering the on-the-go consumer the opportunity to let loose and forget about everyday nuisances. Today’s consumer isn’t afraid to get in touch with his inner child, and with the fast-paced and hectic world in which we live, accessible adult-oriented playgrounds may be just what it takes to relieve stress.
Trend Themes
1. Adult Playgrounds - Designing play areas for adults to alleviate stress and promote physical activity could be a successful business opportunity.
2. Vertical Park of Repose - Construction of hammock clusters for a vertical park of repose could appeal to urban communities and solve the issue of limited outdoor space availability.
3. Alternative Transportation - Installing adult playgrounds such as slides and transfer accelerators in crowded areas with heavy foot traffic could serve as alternative modes of transportation and revamp city planning.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture and Design - Incorporating elements of play and fun in innovative ways into architecture and design could revolutionize the industry and attract new customers.
2. Urban Planning - Exploring alternative modes of transportation and utilizing limited outdoor space in cities could provide new opportunities for urban planning and design.
3. Wellness and Stress Relief - Creating adult playgrounds that serve as stress-relievers and promote physical activity could lead to a surge in wellness industries as a whole.
