Making the Case for Parks
We all know that parks play a vital role in the social, economic and physical well-being of our cities and citizens. What stories can we tell and how can we find hard numbers to support our case that parks and community gardens improve lives and bring a variety of benefits to cities? How can you create community awareness of local green space issues and increase your group's membership and support base? How can you use the Internet to help further your cause? How have park groups been effective in attracting media attention to increase public awareness? How do park advocates around the country respond to competition for park land by other public institutions or uses such as parking lots? What legal precedents have been established?
