A seaside town with a reputation as a retirement haven could become the next area in Britain to provide older residents with an outdoor playground.

Mature residents of Eastbourne, East Sussex, will be able to enjoy gentle workouts on a range of specially-designed fitness equipment if the proposals go ahead.

Community officials in the resort hope the idea will appeal to people struggling with the economic downturn who may not be able to afford gym membership.
