Idea for a nonprofit: subsidized food, but it doesn’t deliver, and you have to walk really far to reach it. Like a restaurant in the middle of the woods where there’s no parking for two miles, at the top of a steep hill, etc.
a restaurant (in America businesses must have a minimum amount of parking). but we only have seating, all food comes from a rotating selection of food trucks that will occupy the parking lot, meaning you have to walk there to eat.
Walking from the nearest house to Six Flags Magic Mountain takes around at least 50 mins. If you don’t believe me, check on maps.
That’s 50 mins of no shade, water, bathroom, or other pedestrians. If you get a heatstroke, you have few options. You can call an Uber and hope they are willing to illegally pick you up on the highway, pay for emergency services, or hope a good samaritan helps you out.
This isn’t unique to this location, this is just how almost all American amusement parks are. They are located somewhere out of the city for cheaper rent, with the expectation that everyone arrives by car. This is why they are surrounded by highways and have very few walkable paths and entrances on the outside.
Actually, it’s a win at that age. You get out of the house and can interact with lots of people, that’s something most old people need more of.
Still faster than cooking, too.
plus regular walking is incredibly important.
and most people, (not just elderly) are way too sedentary.
even if the food is the typical amusement park junk food, it’s probably better than being sedentary at home and driving to fas goods

There used to be a spot near me that did exactly this. It was awesome.
