CHI partners at the Sumner M. Redstone Global Center for Prevention and Wellness recently published the Neighborhood Park Service Report, a report that has garnered extensive local media coverage. This report evaluates the great inequities in amenities, maintenance, and access in parks/greenspace across the District of Columbia. Centering parks as a public health and climate change mitigation resource, the report identifies several policy recommendations for the local government, National Park Service, and Congress to improve management of the park system.
