31. CONCLUSION
8/17/2015
City parks improve our physical and psychological health, strengthen our
communities, and make our cities and neighbourhoods more attractive
places to live and work. Numerous studies have shown the social,
environmental, economic, and health benefits parks bring to a city and its
people. For example, they attract tourists, serve as community signature
pieces, offer a marketing tool for cities to attract businesses and
conventions and host festivals, concerts and athletics events.
