Presentation transcript:

Park Programming and Better Health Neighborhood parks function as a nucleus of neighborhood activity, where residents can gather for social events, recreational activities and meetings about community issues. Park and recreation agencies currently provide millions of Americans access to healthy and nutritious food. More than 50 percent administer community garden programs. Nearly 25 percent of agencies manage farmers’ markets, and 63 percent permit space for gardens. Today, 70 percent of park and recreation agencies offer programs for senior citizens, and the average agency serves over 160 seniors annually. When Boston made park programming highly visible by hiring veterans to teach free health classes in 18 city parks a year, park attendance dramatically increased during summer months. Having events at the park, including sports competitions and other attractions, appears to be the strongest correlate of park use and community-level physical activity.
