Elevating Health Equity through Parks and Recreation
This framework is designed to help park and recreation professionals intentionally advance health equity by applying a racial equity lens when designing, implementing and evaluating programs and services, and when developing an infrastructure, a maintenance and an operations plans.
This framework is divided into four parts: Self-Assessment, Agency Assessment, Health Equity Integration and Committing to the Call.
Question prompts are included in each part of the framework to spark conversations that engage individuals and organizations in deep reflection and a process of ongoing learning.
Additionally, a glossary of terms has been provided on page 55, as well as call-out boxes to define important terms and concepts. Several case studies also are included to highlight communities that have embarked on a journey to advance health equity
