Open for discussion    The 10-Minute Walk Campaign  December 6, 2017, Feature, by Sonia Myrick  The 10-minute walk campaign launched on October 10 and is already gaining speed in cities across the country. So, what exactly is the thinking behind this partnership between The Trust for Public Land (TPL), the Urban Land Institute (ULI) and NRPA? Parks & Recreation sat down with TPL President and CEO Will Rogers toi find out more about how this idea came to be, what itmeans for parks and public space, and what the future holds for the 10-minute walk. Parks & Recreation magazine: What inspired TPL to start the 10-minute walk campaign, and Will Rogers: The 10-minute walk vision the idea that everyone, no matter where they live, deserves to be within a 10-minute walk to a high-quality park or public space = has long been a part of TPL's DNA. It is the reason we have taken on park projects like Newark Riverfront Parki in New. Jersey, The 606 in Chicago, Watts Serenity Parki in Los Angeles and almost 200 neighborhood playgrounds in New York City. But a while back, we understood that to really make a difference at scale and to encourage sweeping change in not only park access, but park quality, we couldn't go it alone. We needed to partner with like-minded, high-impact organizations that could help us deliver on this vision and develop a roadmap for cities to address park access and quality in a meaningful, sustainable way. That is the power of the 10- minute walk campaign its ability to help drive change in cities large and small, across the country. So, we immediately thought of both NRPA and Urban Land Institute, two of the best in There is clearly strong alignment between TPL and NRPA - we both believe that having access tol high-quality parks is a right for all, and Ithink we have a similar understanding oft the incredible benefits that parks and green space offer people. But, beyond that, NRPA knows parks. The organization has an incredible reach - to park directors and park departments across the country - as well as the on-the-ground experience to help implement this campaign. When we: started to examine what this campaign might look like, NRPA was a natural And, we know that not only do mayors and park departments drive change in communities, but also that the private sector has a huge influence on the development and financing of parks and open space. As al leader in the field of responsible land use and development, ULI was a clear partner. Its quality education and research supports land use and development professionals - developers, planners, financiers, economists and architects = to create and sustain thriving  why was NRPA a natural fit as a core partner in this effort?  the industry.  fit fora core partner.  communities through the responsible use of land.    P&R:So, what is the campaign all about and what has been most exciting since it launched in Rogers: This campaign is based on two key concepts that are directly connected = park access and park quality. Yes, we believe that everyone should be able to reach a park within a 10- minute walk of home. But what does that park look like? Is itawell-oved, adequately resourced park? Does it deliver all the incredible benefits that parks can provide? Does it absorb excess stormwater or does it promote exercise? We believe that parks can do all those Thus far, the 10-minute walk campaign has focused on championing mayors (and their park directors!) who are advocates for parks and has asked them to sign on to our vision that everyone, in every neighborhood, in every city deserves a park within a 10-minute walk of home. We believe strongly in that vison, not simply because spaces for relaxation and recreation are important though they are = but also because parks and public green spaces can help deliver improvements in a host of areas, from public health to climate resilience to And, I'm happy to say that 145 mayors and counting Democrats and Republicans = from cities large and small across the country, have already signed on to that vison. We have seen extraordinary momentum since the campaign launched on October 10, and what has become clear is the potential for us tol have a major impact on parks and open space at a national scale. Mayors, partner organizations, individuals = they all see the opportunity to shape how parks and public spaces can be viewed as anchors of healthy, equitable communities nationwide. P&R: You mentioned signing on to a "vision. ." Will cities do anything else to advance the 10- Rogers: We are starting with the vision but there is much more to the campaign than that. We've developed a list of commitments organized by action area that cities that sign on to this effort can take to prioritize parks and public space. These action areas include leadership and planning, funding and park creation and activation, all of which can help increase park access and improve quality. Not all cities will necessarily make these commitments, and some cities that have signed on have already set ambitious targets for themselves in some of these areas. In 2018, we'll be announcing a technical assistance competition for cities to compete for planning grants. TPL, NRPA and ULI will work with selected cities to help them develop commitments that are feasible, impactful and measurable. We hope these cities will embrace the commitments they develop and pledge to take concrete steps to make the 10-minute walk Beyond this process, we are developing a host of exciting resources that all cities that sign on to the 10-minute walk can take advantage of. One is called ParkServee the first-ever efforti to map all parks in every city and town across the country. TPL's Geographic Information Systems team has been working for years to create a publicly accessible baseline for measuring 10- minute walk access, and we just launched phase one along with the 10-minute walk campaign.  October?  things and more.  safety.  minute walk?  vision a reality on the ground.    We're also creating Parkology, which TPL is working on with NRPA and other partners. Parkology will be a website and community that provide access to countless resources on parks, as well as create a dedicated space for 10-minute walk cities to communicate and learn from each other. And, we'll be working with both NRPA and ULI to develop best-practice guides, reports and other professional resources that can eventually be posted there. So, even if cities aren'tready to make a public commitment, we are confident that these resources will allow  cities to embrace the 10-minute walk in a lot oft the work that they do. P&R: So, what is next for the 10-minute walk campaign?  Rogers: We'll be debuting the commitments, along with the technical assistance competition, ini the months ahead. And we're working closely with additional partners to expand our reach and bring the expertise of other national organizations to bear on the campaign. But, this is just the beginning of a multiyear undertaking to work in-depth with cities across the country. We want cities to personalize and embrace this campaign on al local level; for cities that make public commitments, that will mean developing city-specific plans and accountability measures tailored to their unique contexts. Other cities may choose to embrace a facet of the campaign, such as health or resilience, and use that as a lens to view how they're addressing the 10- minute walk. Ultimately, we view the campaign as a large-scale effort to jumpstart and reshape the national dialogue around what parks and public spaces can do for cities, and why they're sO  important.

U.S. Mayors Agree: Everyone Needs a Great Park  Within a 10-Minute Walk  Adrian Benepe, Contributor Senior Vicel President & Director of City Park Development The Trust for Public Non-profits, 134 Mayors Launch National 10-Minute Walk to a Park  Land 10/10/2017 Campaign  JENNASTAMM  Children playi in as schoolyard converted to a community playground in Philadelphia.  Ata a time when Americans are fractured by politics and policies, there is one thing most of us agree on and which has broad, bi-partisan support-convenient access to a high quality park. Today, The Trust for Public Land (TPL), the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), and the Urban Land Institute (ULI) launched the 10-Minute Walk to a Park Campaign with the support of 134 mayors from cities across America and from both sides of the political aisle. These mayors signed on during the past year, endorsing the goal of providing every neighborhood with a quality park that improves life for city residents, serves as as safe place for people to gather, and adds to the beauty of the Great parks are one oft the anchors of healthy, sustainable communities and vibrant American cities. Today, more than 85 percent of the US population lives either in a city or a suburb, and the research is clear that close-to-home parks boost the wellbeing of entire neighborhoods. Parks play vital roles in enhancing environmental sustainability, absorbing carbon and other air pollutants, lowering temperatures, and capturing storm water runoff. They are also crucial to public health-data show that when people live near parks they exercise more. Parks also enhance property values, and create community cohesion by bringing diverse people togetheri in social settings. Cities that invest inj parks and open spaces are directly benefiting local residents and their physical and mental health by creating life- In cities across America, mayors and park directors are working with other elected officials, citizens, and non-profit partners to come up with visionary ways to pay for new parks, and improve existing parks.  city.  enhancing ways to get outdoorsand be active.    For example, the city of Houston has made al bold and ambitious goal toi increase the number of residents who live within a 10-minute walk ofa a park from 48 percent to 75 percent by 2040. To do this, they have made improved access part ofi its official park master plan. Working with a non-profit partner known as Spark Parks, city officials are identifying scores of schoolyards that could be converted into community parks. Likewise, in hundreds of cities across the country, underused schoolyards represent the "low-hanging fruit"-land already owned by the city, possibly not even needing major improvement-just: the stroke ofa policy pen to make them "joint-use' facilities and creating more  nearby outdoor spaces fort tens ofr millions of Americans.  SPARK SCHOOL PARK PROGRAM Parks program.  Matthys Elementary: School Parki in Houston, newly renovated and opened to the community through the SPARK In Los Angeles County last year, residents approved Measure A, which will generate at least $1.8 billion-$100 million a year, indefinitely--for new: and improved parks across the county. In Boston, voters also last year approved a Community Preservation Act measure that will generate $20 million for the same cause, and New York City has allocated $300 million to renovate 70 small parks and playgrounds in underserved areas. In Minneapolis and San Francisco (which recently became thet first cityi in America where 100 percent ofi its residents have a park within 10-minute walk), park leaders worked with community residents and local leaders to solve equity problems, and to make sure everyone, regardless ofi income or race, has access to high quality parks. Both cities have set aside large  amounts of funding to ensure equitable park quality.  ALEX RANDOLPH  San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee announces that his cityi is the first to! have 100% ofi its residents within a 10-minute  walk ofa park at an event in Hilltop Park.    So, where did the "10-minute walk" idea come from? For several decades, city planners and social scientists have measured distances people will travel on foot to basic services such as shopping, schools, or transit. They concluded that halfa a mile is about asf far as people will reasonably walk. Though walking speeds vary, the U.S Department of Transportation: agrees that most people can walk a half-mile in 10 Nearly 17 years ago, at an all-staff gathering of The Trust for Public Land, Will Rogers, who still serves as the organization's President, talked about headlines he hoped to see int the next decade. One oft those headlines was his prediction that the NRPA and US Conference of Mayors would join TPL inv working to ensure that no one lived "more than a 10-minute stroller ride from a park or playground."Af few years later, in an article penned for the American Planning Association. Journal in 2004, Peter Harnik documented cities that had standards for how far residents should have to walk to get to a nearby park. Harnik, then Director of The Trust for Public Land's Center for City Park Excellence, found that most cities had no standards, and those that did ranged from at tenth of a mile to a mile, with about half A year later, Jack T. Linn, Assistant Commissioner int the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation, developed a new standard fori thei ideal walking distance to a park. He determined thati it should be measured int time, not distance, and proposed that every New' Yorker should have a park or That standard was adopted two years later in PlaNYC-the sustainable development plan for New York Asa a centerpiece of PlaNYC's park and environment program, the Mayor called for converting 250 part- time, asphalt schoolyards into fulltime community playgrounds, used by schools during school hours but available to neighborhood residents after school and on weekends. That move, accompanied by $150 million to improve the playgrounds, led to a: 15 percent increase in the number of New Yorkers who had  minutes.  having al half-mile as the standard.  playground within a 10-minute walk.

NOMI ELLENSON  The old asphalt schoolyard at La Cima Charter School in Brooklyn, NY was converted by The Trust for Public Land to Last June, the US Conference of Mayors (USCM) validated' Will Rogers' prediction by officially endorsing the 10-Minute walk in a resolution introduced: at its national gathering. The USCM resolution said, in part "that the United States Conference of Mayors supports the goal for cities to increase the number of  agreen community playground that also captures stormwater runoff.    people in urban America who live within a 10-minute walk ofa a high-quality park; that the [USCM] will celebrate mayors that make quality parks and access to them ai first-tier solution toi their municipal challenges; and that the [USCM] supports investments in parks and open spaces with the goal for everyone in urban American to live within a 10-minute walk ofal high-quality park." There was another major challenge for the 10-Minute Walk partners when they launched the campaign nearly three years ago: How could they know how many people had 10-minute walk access to a parki in the 14,000 communities within the 3,000areas defined as' "urban" by the U.S. Census Bureau? The answer came in TPL's award-wining Geographic Information Systems (GIS) unit, which created ParkServe, an effort to find and map all the parks int those 14,000 communities, and then to figure out how many lived within or outside of the 10-minute walk "service areas" oft those parks. Working with the help of Esri, the world's leading GIS mapping company, and using their Network. Analyst software, they are tracing the street network to determine if and how someone could walk to a park-without ParkServe, now underway for two and al half years, has already surveyed 7,600 of the 14,000 communities, encompassing 67 percent oft the U.S. population. Based on preliminary analysis, they estimate that as many as 150 million Americans may not have a park within a: 10-minute walk. ParkServe isalso generating the nation's first-ever database of urban parks and providing tools that city officials and citizens alike can use to help identify park deserts and the best ways to add green oases. So now that the campaign is officially launched, andi is supported by 134 mayors, how do we close that First, thet three partners, TPL, NRPA, and ULI, working with other non-profit organizations, will engage with mayors and cities to deploy tools and strategies to help them increase access to new parks and improve existing parks, building on: successful models and strategies already in place. TPLand ULI experts in conservation and urban park finance are working with cities toi identify both traditional and new. sources of funding for park creation and improvement, from voter measures and bonds to tax- increment financing and social impact bonds. ULI will use its 51 regional councils to work with local leaders and deploy advisory panels representing developers, planners, financiers, economists, and The campaign soon will launch a competitive grant program, challenging cities to come up with innovative approaches to adding and improving parks. This program will build on traditional NRPA strengths in research on best practices, case studies, and comprehensive data, including its Safe Routes So, with all this effort and energy, Americans in cities and suburbs across the country may soon have close-to-home access to the aspect of city life that may best define quality of life: a high-quality, green,  encountering barriers such as freeways, riversa and canals, or railroad tracks.  gapi for sO many Americans?  public officials to provide practical and objective advice to cities.  to Parks program, to help make the case for expanded park funding.  and safe park for all to enjoy.
