| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses sports field maintenance budgets, and evaluates the statement: "securing budget resources for sports field and parks infrastructure and maintenance needs strong evidence-based arguments to warrant investment by decision-makers." Suggests that there are social and communal benefits of having parks, trails, and public spaces. Overviews the example of Central Park "which now uses a conservancy model to ensure that citizens in that city do not have to live in 'concrete jungles' and can still have picnics, view wildlife, enjoy grass and shade of trees just a walk away from office towers, subways, and intensified urban environments." Adds that "investments in quality parks, trails, and trees more than offset such investments by increased property assessments, reduced crime rates, greater public presence and feeling of safety, respect and pride in parks by local neighbourhoods [neighborhoods]." |
