As part of his research into the factors that affect resident’s perceptions of park system adequacy, Robby compiled a set of statistics for over 1,800 people that tells a story about the footprint of parks in a segment of America. It reveals that the “typical” household has access to approximately an acre and a half of park land within a ten-minute walk from home, along with other insights. The results, as summarized in an article in the November issue of Parks & Recreation Business, should be of interest to planners and policymakers across a range of community types and sizes.
