Repainted Park Signs
Thank you to the Knights of Columbus and Jack Ceo on behalf of the Lindenberg Sister City organization for repainting several of our park signs. The Knights of Columbus painted our Marlpool and Brecon signs and Jack Ceo painted the Tefft Park sign.
6 Reasons Why Parks Matter for Health
The National Park Service celebrates its centennial this week, and our national parks have never been more appreciated; visitors made a record-breaking 307.2 million visits to them in 2015. But what many park goers may not realize is that the access to natural scenery and park activities national parks provide play a role in improving health. In fact, research shows that using public parks—even tiny local ones in your neighborhood—contributes to health in a number of ways, from promoting physical activity to improving mental health and even having the potential to reduce health care costs.
To celebrate this milestone in American history, the Culture of Health blog's editorial team asked six leaders to give us their reasons why parks matter for health.
