Complete Parks Playbook in Spanish

Share On Social!

Latino communities often lack access to safe parks and green spaces, thus are less physically active and at increased risk for obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic diseases. ChangeLab Solutions now offers the Complete Parks Playbook in Spanish,  Los sistemas completos de parques, to help decision makers in Latino communities assess and improve their park system.

Decision makers cannot determine park access by park existence alone, but they must take into account numerous factors: how people travel to parks; how parks are designed; what types of activities and amenities are provided; how, by whom and when parks are used; what types of plants and trees are planted in parks; how parks are maintained; and how parks are funded.

Therefore, it is necessary to assess the following 7 elements when determining the status of a park system:

• Connect (Concexión): creating safe routes to parks
• Locate (Ubicacón): ensuring equitable access to park
• Grow (Crecimiento): planting and maintaining sustainable parks
• Activate (Activación): programming activities and amenities for parks
• Protect (Protección): making parks safe
• Engage (Participación): engaging everyone in the process
• Fund (Financiamianto): committing to finance the complete parks system
