Seniors' exercise equipment

Who senior suits

Outdoor exercise equipment for older adults, including the Dual Big Turning Wheel, Gait Trainer and combination wheel and leg-massage units, gives low-impact movement and balance stations that help seniors stay active and independent, a growing priority for councils and retirement communities.

Ages, footprint and fall height

Ages

Designed for older adults, with low-impact movements suited to people aged in their 50s and up.

Footprint

A freestanding footprint, most sites fit one comfortably into a corner of an existing play space, with the exact size and safety zone stated on the product page.

Fall height

Low fall heights, typically under 1.5 m, in line with the compact platforms in this range.

What it costs

As a guide, single freestanding pieces typically run about $2,000 to $10,000, ex GST. A full connected system built around several pieces typically moves into the range where a primary-school multi-activity system delivered and installed typically runs about $60,000 to $120,000, ex GST. Every fixed-price quote covers the equipment, compliant softfall surfacing to AS 4422, site preparation, delivery, installation by our own crew and independent compliance certification at handover.

Surfacing to pair it with

A single freestanding piece still needs a compliant softfall zone sized to its fall height under AS 4422, mulch, turf or wet-pour rubber all work, and the product page states the exact fall height to design the zone from.

Read our surfacing guide, or compare wet-pour rubber, sand & mulch and synthetic turf.
