Benefits of Trails and Outdoor Open spaces
Our parks, trails, and outdoor recreation amenities provide spaces for everyone to enjoy time outdoors, while exercising, or spending quality time with friends and family.
According to the National Recreation and Park Association, parks are vitally important to establishing and maintaining the quality of life in a community, ensuring the health of families and youth, and contributing to the economic and environmental well-being of a
community and region.
Studies have shown that increased time spent in parks can lead to reductions in stress, lowered blood pressure and increases in physical and mental health and wellbeing.
