Ageing is a journey we all share. Our public spaces should warmly welcome and celebrate this stage of life.

Across the globe, cities are reimagining ways to support older adults, not merely with accessibility, but by nurturing vitality, dignity, and genuine human connection. Landscape architects hold a powerful key to creating environments that help older individuals thrive, remain independent, and stay deeply connected with their communities.

Senior Sport: Inspiring Active and Joyful Lives

Recent studies reveal profound benefits when seniors engage in outdoor fitness activities. The ENJOY Project evaluated senior fitness equipment used by participants aged 60 and above from Lappset through a supervised 12-week program and a six-month follow-up.

The results were inspiring:

• Improved Physical Health: Improved balance, strength, and general fitness.
• Mental Well-being: Reduced feelings of isolation and enhanced mood.
• Social Interaction: Increased engagement and community connection.
• High Satisfaction: 98.6% enjoyed the sessions, 92% planned continued use.

Thoughtfully Crafted for Senior Well-being

Lappset’s Senior Sport concept embodies over two decades of passionate collaboration between physiotherapists, geriatric experts, and dedicated designers. Every piece of equipment is crafted not just for physical activity, but to meaningfully enhance seniors’ lives.

Inspired by the Moto+ study, our concept emphasises exercises that restore mobility, flexibility, balance, coordination, and quick reaction, vital components that protect against chronic conditions, uplift mental health, and significantly reduce falls.

Lappset’s intuitive, welcoming design invites seniors of every fitness level to engage comfortably, individually or together, empowering independence and joy in daily life.

Technology, such as the Lappset Sona Interactive dance and play arch, also plays a valuable role in engaging older adults through familiar songs and games, adding an enjoyable and motivational element to physical activities.

A Future Worth Building Together

Imagine vibrant parks filled with laughter and conversations, where older adults start their days energized by exercise and community spirit. Imagine neighbourhoods where generations naturally connect, inspired by beautifully inclusive design.

Together, we can create spaces where ageing is embraced.
