Ochoa and The Trust for Public Land are
leading a collaborative network to build a
green schoolyard at Chiloquin Elementary
School in Oregon.

would make them more active and
give them places to play and exercise, and about what it would mean
for their families to be able to take
them someplace outside on the
weekends.
The following week, the school
board voted unanimously to support the project.

Bringing It Home
In a pandemic, having a safe outdoor
space for recreation is more important than ever before. However, economic uncertainty and decreased
state revenues almost certainly mean
that projects like the one in Chiloquin will require broad public support to compete for resources.
In addition to the Greener Parks
for Health Advocacy Toolkit, NRPA
created a Greener Parks for Health

Communications Toolkit to help
park and recreation professionals
explain the health, economic, social and environmental benefits of
greener parks to a variety of community stakeholders. The final tool
in the Greener Parks for Health library is the Greener Parks for Health
Policy Action Framework, a national
policy agenda for local, state and
federal leaders that will make it
easier for projects like Chiloquin to
come to fruition. Taken together,
these three resources can help other communities build support for
local park projects.
In Chiloquin, partners are just
starting to raise money to build
the green schoolyard, with hopes
for construction in summer 2021.
And even though kids won't be
physically returning to school in

2020, they're staying engaged with
the project through take-home activities that encourage them to get
outside and explore.
" This is something the community wants for our kids, " says
Ochoa. " We've faced challenges
before, but we're resilient. We can
make it happen. "
