What City Parks Do For Us (And Why They’re Important)

Consider this a love letter to city parks, and the peace public spaces allow us in our time of need. With cities shuttering to a halt and businesses closed, these parks offer us solace in every context, but especially a pandemic, where there is a need to keep distance from others, and stay close to home. Parks are microcosms in themselves; allowing many different layers of life and nature to grow at once. It is a neutral space: for the old, the young; it changes every day, and yet, over the years, does not change at all. Importantly, there is no cost of admission. Truthfully, they are one of the few spaces in most cities where I can trust that they won’t require me to spend any money. I wanted to take a second glance at why parks are important, looking briefly at their physical, mental, and social impact on us. I think it’s crucial at this point in time and in the future and we invest in their nurturing element, and strive to make them accessible to everyone (regardless of their race, socio-economic background or able-bodiless).
