A fascinating new study reveals racial inequities in Denver and Aurora regarding the amount of space devoted to parks in neighborhoods largely populated by people of color compared to sections that are predominantly white. "Parks and Equitable Recovery," released May 27 by The Trust for Public Land, continues the organization's annual tradition of evaluating park systems in the 100 most populous U.S. cities. The methodology looks at park access (the percentage of residents living within a ten-minute walk of a park); park acreage (comparing the city's median park size and the percentage of city area dedicated to parks); park investment (park spending per resident); and park amenities (the availability of basketball hoops, off-leash dog parks, playgrounds, "splashpads" and other water-play structures, recreation and senior centers, and restrooms).
