More proof that parks boost the health of the whole community

Earlier this year, we debuted a booklet and short film featuring the latest research demonstrating the connection between parks and health.

Hundreds of you signed up to receive your free print copy, and a number of city officials and organizations also approached us to talk about how they could help spread the word.

The piece was so popular, we’ve decided to make it even easier to read and share by turning it into a digital ebook, complete with links to even more articles, reports, and videos. 

We encourage you to share 8 Ways Parks Improve Your Health with your friends and neighbors, your butcher, your baker, your personal trainer, and anyone else who might enjoy learning about all the ways that parks boost the health of the whole community.

TAKE ACTION
Fully Fund Safe, Active Transportation Systems

The Active Transportation Infrastructure Investment Program (ATTIIP) is a vital initiative that helps expand trails connecting people to nature and their broader neighborhoods. Despite this importance, Congress allocated $0 for ATTIIP in this year’s appropriations process. We cannot delay investments in safe, active transportation systems. Urge Congress to fully fund the ATTIIP!
