How We Can Legislate, Fund, Plan, and Design Our Way to Park Justice

The Prevention Institute has published a blog post that recommends ways to lessen inequitable park and green space allocation through community efforts and legislation. The blog says low-income areas might have no green space at all, and if they do, it might be poorly maintained or unsafe. Green spaces add health benefits to the community, including space for exercise, cleaner air, and the prevention of violence.
