City Parks Alliance, in partnership with Prevention Institute, hosted a webinar about park equity collaboration. This webinar offered a case study of the Los Angeles Countywide Park Needs Assessment, including its purpose and scope, data collection methods, and targeted community engagement process in park-poor neighborhoods and low-income and diverse communities.
The session included perspectives from the county parks and recreation department, another California parks and recreation department that has utilized the assessment in their community, and a community advocate. Tune in to learn ideas for how you can collaborate with local partners to advance park equity in your community!
