Program Description:

TPL's Parks for People Initiative works in cities and suburbs across America to ensure that everyone—in particular, every child—enjoys access to a park, playground, or open space. 

Parks are essential to the health of individuals and communities. Parks offer recreation and renewal, promote exercise, reduce crime, revitalize neighborhoods, protect the environment, and bring communities together. Children without access to parks suffer higher levels of obesity, diabetes, asthma, anxiety, and depression.

Over 80 percent of American’s live in cities or suburbs. But TPL research reveals that as many as two in three residents of American cities do not have access to a nearby park, playground, or open space. Children in park-poor neighborhoods play in streets, alleyways, and vacant lots rather than in grassy parks, baseball diamonds, or soccer fields. Parks for People seeks to address this critical need by creating parks where they are needed most, shaping the future of American cities—and American lives—for generations to come. 

TPL is working with community leaders across the nation to identify opportunities for park creation, to secure funding, to acquire parklands, and to ensure that parks match the character and needs of each community. 

Since 1972, TPL has helped create or refurbish more than 600 city parks, community gardens, and playgrounds. In each instance, we have seen how dramatically a nearby park can improve people’s lives.
