A charity that works to improve parks and green spaces has said it is important to give youngsters access to green spaces to encourage them to adopt healthy lifestyle habits.
Greenspace was suggesting that easy access to sports facilities would encourage youngsters to participate in activities.
Internet Gardener''s Berg Champion trampoline provides children with a fun activity and it is also a great way to encourage kids to exercise.
David Tibbatts, general manager of Greenspace, explained that having free access to a park''s facilities would help push youngsters to venture outside.
Mr Tibbatts said: "This ease of access is particularly important in terms of establishing healthy lifestyle habits in the very young."
Some 85 per cent of people surveyed in a report called "The value of public space" said that the quality of public space has a direct impact on their lives.
The Berg Champion trampoline is safe for children as it has an extra wide and thick protective edge and can easily fit into a back garden to provide a secure environment in which youngsters can play.
