10-Minute Walk Campaign:

Celebrating Mayors and
Cities Leading the Way
By Jared Mummert

E

veryone deserves a great
park close to home. It
was that belief that led
the National Recreation
and Park Association (NRPA),
The Trust for Public Land (TPL)
and the Urban Land Institute
(ULI) to launch the 10-Minute
Walk campaign in October 2017.
Since the campaign's launch, nearly 200 mayors have signed on,
committing to improving park access and quality in their cities.
Since October, cities have been acting on this bold vision. In April 2018, NRPA announced the first 12 cities to participate in
technical assistance for the 10-Minute Walk campaign. Led by their mayor's commitment, these cities demonstrate innovation and
ingenuity through their approaches to create, connect, enhance and activate parks and open spaces. The first cohort of grantees represents a range of geographic diversity, city size, bipartisan municipal leadership and local partnership support. They are as follows:

Mayor Ethan Berkowitz (D), Anchorage, Alaska
(Population 300,000; 74 percent within a 10-minute walk)
In collaboration with the Anchorage Park Foundation, National Park
Service and the Alaska Native Heritage Center, the Municipality of
Anchorage is working to engage new and indigenous Alaskans in local parks. Anchorage Mayor Ethan Berkowitz says, " Parks improve
our quality of life and community well-being. We are fortunate that
Anchorage has 223 parks, and we're making sure that all residents
can enjoy them. " The city will focus its efforts on connecting residents to parks via trails and developing park programs that represent
the community.

Patrons of a lunchtime
outdoor concert sit on the
grass in a downtown Anc
horage park.
