56 Urban Music Festivals, Considered
Outdoor music festivals have long been a focus of
enjoyment, nationally and internationally, and
their number has expanded to dozens of major
festivals and hundreds of smaller ones. While
festivalgoers come and go, festivals have a
pronounced, albeit largely temporary, impact on
our public parks, in social, economic,
environmental and cultural terms.

64 Open Streets ICT Brings
Wichitans Together!
What happens when you close a major street and
open it for biking, walking, running and a host of
other activities? Hear what Wichita, Kansas,
discovered this past fall when it did just that for its
inaugural " Open Streets ICT, " a free, communitybuilding event.

61 The 10-Minute Walk Campaign
On October 10, more than 130 mayors from across
the country helped The Trust for Public Land
(TPL), the Urban Land Institute (ULI) and NRPA
launch the 10-minute walk campaign with the
goal of ensuring that all Americans live within a
10-minute walk of a park. Parks & Recreation sat
down with TPL President and CEO Will Rogers to
learn more about the campaign.
