R.A.N Tip of The Week! Vital Parks

Getting involved with vital parks is crucial because they provide essential green spaces that enhance community well-being, promote physical and mental health, and contribute to a more resilient and sustainable city.

Here's why involvement matters:

- Improved Health and Well-being:Parks offer opportunities for physical activity, stress reduction, and social interaction, leading to better mental and physical health outcomes.

- Resilience to Climate Change:Parks help mitigate the effects of extreme heat, manage stormwater, and protect against rising sea levels, contributing to a more resilient city.

- Community Connection:Parks serve as gathering places for residents of all ages and backgrounds, fostering social connections and a sense of community.

It's My Park Season and everyone is invited to join Roc-A-Natural Cultural Foundation Inc in collaboration with Partnerships for Parks to continue the beautification of Tappen Park, Bay Street,  between Water and Canal Streets, Staten Island, NY 10304.
