FEATURES

54 The Economic Benefit of
Downtown Parks
Whatever their constitution, today's parks need to
be versatile and able to be used for multiple
purposes. Parks are the essential places for play in
the live/work/play environment that cities across
the country are striving to provide. As a result,
people expect more from our parks.
Cynthia Bowen

62 Place-Based Design and Civic Health
Studies show that communities across the United
States are facing concerning civic engagement
trends - distrust among neighbors, economic
and political segregation. The Center for Active
Design shares new findings from its Assembly
Civic Engagement Survey about how design of
parks and public spaces can impact civic life.
Suzanne Nienaber

68 The Andrew 'Pete' Sanchez
Multi-Service Center
The Sanchez Center, the hub of New Orleans'
resilient Lower 9th Ward, offers a glimpse of what
may be the future of community recreations.
Katy Reckdahl

74 Tennis, Everyone
Across the country, park departments are offering
adaptive recreation, paving the way in the fight
against isolation on behalf of individuals with
disabilities, and tennis is a huge part of that.
Mary Helen Sprecher

2017 NRPA ANNUAL CONFERENCE SECTION

78 We're Headed to the Big Easy
New Orleans is a vibrant, culturally diverse city,
filled with rich history, great food and plenty to
see and do. It is a city like no other - so carve out
a little time to see this gem of the south!
