About the Green Spaces Initiative
more_horiz
The Green Spaces Initiative is a community-driven program focused on enhancing and revitalizing urban environments through the development of accessible green spaces, bike trails, and community infrastructure. Our mission is to foster sustainable, healthy, and connected neighborhoods by promoting active transportation and creating green areas that serve as communal hubs.


Key objectives of the initiative include:
Expanding Bike Trails: Developing a network of bike trails to encourage cycling and walking, reducing carbon emissions, and promoting a more active lifestyle.
Creating Green Community Spaces: Establishing parks, gardens, and other green infrastructures that serve as spaces for recreation, community events, and environmental education.
Engaging Residents: Mobilizing local volunteers to participate in workshops, green space development, and maintenance efforts, fostering community ownership and environmental stewardship.
Building Partnerships: Collaborating with local organizations and stakeholders to maximize resources and ensure the long-term sustainability of these projects.
By transforming underutilized spaces into thriving green areas, the Green Spaces Initiative aims to create a healthier, more resilient, and inclusive environment for all residents.

"As someone who has lived in this community for over 15 years, I never imagined how much a bike trail could change my daily routine. Since the new 2.5-mile trail was built as part of the Green Spaces project, I've felt so encouraged to use my bike instead of driving everywhere. It's not just about the exercise—it's the feeling of connection to my neighborhood and the environment around me. The trail gives me a safe and scenic way to get to work, run errands, or simply enjoy the outdoors with my family. I feel healthier, more energized, and a lot more engaged with my community. This project has been a game-changer for me and many others here."

Trust for Public Land ParkScore® Index
more_horiz
The Trust for Public Land's (TPL) ParkScore Index is a yearly comparison of park systems in the 100 most populated cities in the United States. The index ranks cities based on five categories:
Equity
Access
Investment
Amenities
Acreage
Residents in cities with high ParkScore® rankings are, on average, more socially connected to and engaged in their communities than people in lower-ranking cities. At a time when our country is experiencing high rates of loneliness and isolation, find out how innovative parks departments are creating programs that break down walls and build bridges between neighbors.
