John,
Thanks to your support, we create and protect urban, rural, and
national scenic trails that provide outdoor access to people everywhere. These carbon-free
transportation networks make us healthier, boost our economies, and
much more.

Great Parks Start with Community

Before the creation of Midway Peace Park, residents of St.

kids of all ages enjoy a park of their own design, featuring a
basketball court, walking path, playground, and more-all within
safe walking distance.

Ways to Give
Together We Can Close the Park Equity Gap
[link removed]
Parks are essential for public health, climate resilience, and strong
connected communities. And yet, 100 million people in the
U.S.-including 28 million kids-don't have a park
within a 10-minute walk of home. We're working to change that,
and we need your support.
