About Park People

Parks are essential health, environmental and social infrastructure for cities. At a time when we need to radically reimagine how we live in cities, Park People advances parks as essential spaces to connect people to each other and the rest of nature. Established in 2002, Park People supports and connects Canada’s city park changemakers across cities and sectors, influences decision makers to invest in city parks as essential urban infrastructure and amplifies the programs, practices and policies to galvanize Canadians to recognize parks as unique sites of opportunity for cities.
