John,
There's still time to register for this week's Park Bench Chat to learn how parks can combat loneliness, isolation, and lack of connection across the United States.
Join us on May 22 at noon (PDT) / 3:00 p.m. (EDT) for the release of our 2024 ParkScore® index. TPL Senior Director of Strategy and Innovation Linda Hwang will be joined by leading community and park experts to unveil this year’s top rankings and take an in-depth look at why cities with better park systems are stronger, more connected places to live. We will also share practical ways you can improve social connections and parks in your own community.

About the ParkScore® Index:
For over a decade, Trust for Public Land has published its annual ParkScore® index, which ranks park systems in the 100 most populous U.S. cities. This work also highlights the power of parks to address some of the most complex problems facing cities today, including the importance of strengthening the country’s social fabric through parks and green space to build a more inclusive, equitable society where diverse people and communities can thrive.
Spaces are filling up quickly, so I hope you will sign up today!
