The JPB Foundation Supports Creation of ParkServe Database
Today, The Trust for Public Land launched www.ParkServe.TPL.org, providing free, easy-to-navigate access to the most comprehensive database on parks ever assembled. The site includes information for 14,000 cities with a combined population of more than 260 million.
The national nonprofit organization is leading a movement to put a park or natural area within a 10-minute walk of every American, a goal which has been endorsed by more than 200 U.S. mayors.
The ParkServe site lets users measure who does and does not have access to a park within a 10-minute walk and to pinpoint exactly where new parks are most needed. The website's powerful analytics give city planners tools to guide park improvements while providing residents with information to advocate for parks and hold their leaders accountable.
Generous support for the ParkServe database has been provided by The JPB Foundation....
