Ditch the stairs and release your inner child

Who agrees that childhood is the best phase of life? The sun seems to shine brighter, everyone is nice to you, flowers smell more scented, and skies and clouds laugh. Everything is quite enjoyable. How often do we watch kids playing in the park on all those slides, totally carefree and void of any stress or negativity? Sadly, as we get older, we suppress our inner child.

The Kobe Suma Rikyu park in Kobe, Japan, came up with an excellent idea to let visitors’ inner child run free. They set up slides beside stairs so that anyone can take the fun way down. The result? People found themselves forgetting about the stairs and using the slides repeatedly. They wouldn’t even use the stairs if one could somehow go upwards by sliding too. The visitors’ thoughts on this? Wheeee!
