The Trust for Public Land, Urban Land Institute, and National Recreation and Park Association have all partnered to launch the 10 Minute Walk campaign, which aims for 100% of people living in US cities to have safe access to a quality park or green space within a 10 minute walk from home.

I asked the Parks and Recreation Department to study what percentage of residents live within a 5 minute and a 10 minute walk to our parks. I also asked for the Department to identify areas that could use a park in order to ensure 100% of residents live within a 10 minute walk to a park.
