Children playing on a playground in a society. Grandparents relaxing
on a bench in a small garden. Such images are diminishing these days. But why?
Why is that almost 3 out of 5 people say that they do not have enough space in
their neighbourhood to have a nice morning walk, or a small garden where they
can sit and inhale some fresh air? This highlights the importance of having a
small play area or garden where the residents can resort to some outdoor
activities. We have come up with 4 reasons why you desperately need a small area
reserved for gardens!
1.
Safeguards
ecosystem: Firstly and most importantly, it helps in keeping the ecosystem
intact or so to say, more balanced. We all know that trees help in keeping the
oxygen cycle healthy. We do need some greenery in our cement jungles.
2.
Encourage
outdoor activities for kids: Kids of today’s generation are seen to be
inclined towards gadgets and other technological developments. They need to go
out and play outdoor sports! It’s not only one of the best ways to utilise
time, but also serves to be a health booster.
3. Recreational for senior citizens: It’s
said that old age is your second childhood! They need a space of their own
where they can sit and relax. Also, yoga classes and ‘Hasya Club’ are two
activities that senior citizens enjoy.
4. Fitness solution: A 30 minute walk
everyday can do wonders for your
overall fitness. It would certainly be nice if we get a small area right in the
neighbourhood to take these small walks. Cycling is also a good option.
