Suggested Post Text: City Parks Alliance releases Active Parks, Healthy Cities: Recommendations from the National Study of Neighborhood Parks. Over a two-year period, trained data collectors observed park use in 174 parks in 25 cities identifying to what degree neighborhood parks in cities encourage people to be physically active. Researchers documented park use, including who was using the park, their age, gender, and level of physical activity (sedentary, moderate or vigorous), specific activities, as well as park characteristics, amenities, and current conditions.
Active Parks, Healthy Cities distills these findings into four major recommendation categories: Programming, Design, Marketing and Outreach, and Measuring Park Use. The report curates multiple case studies for each of the four major findings from cities of different sizes and geographies for park and recreation professionals, health organizations, advocacy groups and others to replicate. #ActiveParks https://www.cityparksalliance.org/activeparks
