When people describe a task as “a walk in the park,” it’s a way of saying it’s easy, straightforward, and pleasant to accomplish. Walking to parks, on the other hand? Those trips can be perilous. Often times, pedestrians must risk crossing busy roads to reach their favorite recreation spaces. Thankfully, collaborations among advocacy groups, community-based organizations, transportation planners, and parks and recreation departments are paving the way for solutions.
