Community collaboration and active engagement of neighborhood residents in park redesign are promising strategies for creating public spaces that support physical activity.
This research brief describes the process of community engagement and discusses outcomes of a participatory park redesign project.
A community design charrette was held in collaboration with community organizations. Environmental audits of park features and amenities were completed before and after implementation of park redesign. A guided discussion with stakeholders following the park redesign was conducted to discuss challenges, successes, and next steps.
Although level of activity among youth observed in the post implementation observations did not differ, there were a greater variety of activities observed among both children and adolescents. Furthermore, the goals of the project related to capacity building and meeting residents' needs were accomplished.
Active participation of residents in a neighborhood park redesign requires time, commitment, and communication from a variety of stakeholders. However, the creation of a park that supports a variety of activity types, and builds community capacity, supports the need for involving stakeholders in redesigning neighborhood parks.
社区合作以及邻里居民积极参与公园重新设计是创建支持体育活动的公共空间的有效策略。
本研究简报描述了社区参与过程，并讨论了一个参与式公园重新设计项目的成果。
与社区组织合作举办了一次社区设计研讨会。在公园重新设计实施前后，完成了对公园设施和便利设施的环境审计。在公园重新设计后，与利益相关者进行了一次引导式讨论，以讨论挑战、成功经验和下一步计划。
尽管在实施后观察到的青少年活动水平没有差异，但在儿童和青少年中观察到的活动种类更多。此外，与能力建设和满足居民需求相关的项目目标得以实现。
居民积极参与邻里公园重新设计需要时间、各方的投入以及各种利益相关者之间的沟通。然而，创建一个支持多种活动类型并增强社区能力的公园，支持了让利益相关者参与邻里公园重新设计的必要性。
