National Walk To A Park Day

A neighborhood's backyard is a public park and green space. They give local people a place to play, collaborate, and enjoy the outdoors' benefits. National Walk to a Park Day on October 10th is one of the reasons why Walking to a Park Day on October 10th encourages us to walk to our local parks. Feel the wind on your face. Take in the fall weather.. Visit with neighbors. You will be visiting with neighbors. Play with your children. And of course, green spaces provide communities with the many health benefits that green spaces provide.

Parks are a vital component of improving public health. They are a place to play, exercise, and commune with nature. They support equitable and flourishing communities. They shield communities from the climate impacts, as well as the protection of communities. However, 100 million people, including 28 million children, do not have access to a quality park within a 10-minute walk from home.

The National Walk to a Park Day is not limited to green spaces, but it is a call to action for cities to ensure that everyone around the United States has access to a quality park within a 10-minute walk of their house.

As part of this national day, walk to your local park and encourage your neighborhood to invest more public parks and green spaces.'
