Parks & Open Spaces for Physical Activity

Parks and green spaces play a vital role in promoting physical activity, reducing stress, and improving overall well-being.

Access to well-maintained outdoor spaces encourages exercise, social interaction, and community engagement, leading to better physical and mental health outcomes.

Green spaces also help reduce urban heat, improve air quality, and provide safe, inclusive environments for people of all ages.

Investment in parks, can create healthier, more connected communities while addressing health disparities and promoting environmental sustainability.
