equitable access to parks. <br>
<br>
The program will provide $12,000 in <strong><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">grant funds</span></strong> to local communities, in addition to <strong><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">training, coaching and technical assistance</span></strong> to
support the development of action plans to improve safe and equitable park access. Nationally available resources will also be developed to advance the work and support other communities seeking to implement the Safe Routes to Parks framework locally. <br>
<br>
Applications just opened for year one and 10 communities will be selected to begin work this Spring. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
