As part of a process designed to ensure that park and recreation professionals have the tools and knowledge to "plan for and integrate green infrastructure into park projects to address climate impacts, improve community health conditions, and advance equitable access to quality green spaces and parks," the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) has initiated a Parks and Green Infrastructure for Health. Among other actions, NRPA has conducted a literature review, landscape assessment, and policy scan to understand the current research and policies that support and connect projects to public health outcomes and the barriers and challenges park and recreation and other municipal staff encounter when advancing green infrastructure.
