On Monday after a nice lunch at Mestizo we all got to take a lovely stroll through Parque Bicentenario or Bicentennial Park. The landscape of this Park was mostly flat unlike the infant park that we visited on day 1. While walking through Park Bicentenario, I was able to experience the beauty and serenity of it all. The flamingos were a nice added touch that I am not used to seeing in parks. One element that caught my eye was the workout equipment situated about one fourth of the way through the park. At first glance, it looked like more toys for the children to play on but upon closer inspection, there was a sign that read “15 years and up”. There was a machine that appeared to be an elliptical and leg lift bars among other equipment. This was very interesting to me because this Park was clearly a space for all ages to enjoy. The exercise equipment was not far from a jungle gym area that was neant for children. I thought that the inclusiveness of the design was very practical. Adults can bring their children to the park and have activities for themselves other than sitting on a bench.
