People to Parks:<b> </b>A Toolkit to Increase Safe and Equitable<b> </b>Access to Local Parks and Green Spaces.</i></a><i> </i>This toolkit includes step-by-step guidance through the Safe Routes to Parks framework to increase safe and equitable access to parks
and green spaces. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The Safe Routes Partnership is providing free technical assistance to organizations that are interested in using the toolkit to increase walkability and safe access to green spaces. Please take a look at the attached flyer that describes
