 Urban parks contribute to the vitality of communities in various ways:  

          ♥     Helping youth to build physical, intellectual, emotional, and social strengths;

          ♥     Helping residents improve their health by providing a place to enjoy fresh air and exercise;

          ♥     Helping to build community through working together and playing together;

          ♥     Lowering crime-when youth are off the street engaged in after school recreation programs crime

             takes a holiday.
