People, Parks, Power

Historically, communities of color and low-income neighborhoods have not had equal access to green spaces. People, Parks, Power, a collaborative Partner Content series with The Conscious Connect, is highlighting people and organizations working to change that in Springfield, Ohio’s underserved Southside. These leaders are reimagining, repurposing, and reenergizing local parks, bringing together community members around shared goals and long-term plans. This work is laying the groundwork for policies and projects that advance racial equity, foster climate resiliency, and improve the well-being of local residents.
