John,

Your news feed is likely littered with stories about social division
and polarization. It's true, Americans report high levels of
disconnection from their neighbors. But it doesn't have to be that
way. Several cities are using their parks and public places to build
bridges and heal divides. We'll dive deep into this emerging
trend when we release our 2024 ParkScore Index next week.

outdoor economy, and increase access to the outdoors.
