The Complete Parks Playbook by ChangeLab Solutions serves as a practical guide for communities and decision-makers working to ensure that local parks are healthy, safe, equitable, and thriving. It introduces a holistic framework to evaluate and improve parks by addressing five essential elements: design, programming, maintenance, safety, and sustainability.
The Playbook emphasizes that parks are more than green spaces—they are vital public assets that foster health, social connection, and equity. By providing strategies, case studies, and actionable steps, the document helps local governments, advocates, and community members identify barriers to access and create inclusive parks that meet the diverse needs of all residents.
This guide also outlines how to incorporate community voices into the planning and management process, ensuring that parks not only reflect but also strengthen the neighborhoods they serve. From policy recommendations to real-world examples, the Playbook equips stakeholders with the tools needed to transform parks into engines of resilience and wellbeing.
