Age-Friendly Places
This picture shows the steps being rather gentle making it easy to climb even for the elderly, therefore it is age-friendly and adheres to the fact that elderly may have trouble climbing rather steep slopes.
This picture shows a slope at the left side which is age-friendly and suitable for all ages, it makes the entry to school easy for all. However ironically, the only way to come from across school is the overhead bridge which may not be very user-friendly to all. people may have trouble constantly climbing the overhead bridges.
Restaurants are generally age-friendly because whether the young or old anyone can dine in together just depending on your taste preference. The elderly may opt to go for something easy to chew while
the young may prefer something more exciting and new to eat.
Non age-friendly places
The water theme park located at NEX is not age friendly because it is only suitable for children below 12. For young adults, teens and the elderly it is not a suitable place to go. Especially for elderly as it may be slipperly and the chances of falling are higher. therefore not a recommended place for them.
This basketball court is more suitable for teens who are interested in sports. It is not recommended for the elderly as they may get injured through an accident. It is also not very inclusive to the adults and the elderly or even young children as it is more for teens who prefer sports and thus may be more physically fit.
Finally, the hill in Ngee Ann is definitely not age friendly as it is even a struggle for teens to climb the hill to reach areas like makan place. For the elderly, it will probably be even harder and there are few ways to avoid the hill and these are usually tedious or involve staircases. Therefore this is not age friendly.
That's all! Thanks for reading!
