Innovation Through Activation: Unlocking the Value of Age Friendly Recreational Spaces - the ENJOY IMP-ACT project
Research Impact
VIC/TAS
Submission Overview
The ENJOY IMP-ACT project evaluated a structured, community-based implementation framework to increase physical activity among older adults through the activation of Seniors Exercise Parks across six sites in Victoria. Results showed increased physical activity and group participation; a fourfold increase in the number of older park users; and a social return on investment of $2.50 for every $1 invested. The project demonstrated how the establishment of age-friendly active spaces, combined with community activation, can support healthy ageing and deliver broader social and economic benefits
