Parks have the potential to protect their cities. Through green stormwater infrastructure (GSI), parks can become active defenses against flooding while also enhancing biodiversity, reducing urban heat, improving public health, and creating new green amenities.
As the largest natural spaces in cities, parks hold great potential for GSI but often go underutilized due to various challenges.
Join us to explore how cities like Boston, MA, and Tucson, AZ are bringing GSI to life in their parks through partnerships between parks and water agencies. Discover these real-world examples for collaboration on capital projects, community engagement, planning, and maintenance. Plus, learn about brand new resources from City Parks Alliance to help you make the case for implementing GSI into your city’s parks – a win-win for urban resilience.
