Neighborhood parks help women engage in physical activity (PA). We used the physical activity resources assessment instrument to determine the availability, quality and quantity of physical features, and amenities in 19 neighborhood parks randomly selected from the Jackson, Mississippi, Metropolitan Statistical Area. Madison County averaged the most quality PA features (mean, 13) and quality PA amenities (mean, 25.8), and it averaged the least quality incivilities (mean, 1.6). The total neighborhood parks quality physical activity resources (QPAR) was determined by a composite index QPAR of features, amenities, and incivilities. Neighborhood parks' QPAR index was 545 (mean, 28.7), showing less use of parks. Quality PA features were significantly (P < .01) associated with quality PA amenities.
社区公园有助于女性参与体育活动 (PA)。我们使用了体育活动资源评估工具，对密西西比州杰克逊都会统计区随机选择的 19 个社区公园中的体育设施、特征和便利设施的可用性、质量和数量进行了评估。麦迪逊县的优质 PA 特征（平均值 13）和优质 PA 便利设施（平均值 25.8）的平均值最高，而低质量的不文明行为（平均值 1.6）的平均值最低。社区公园的整体优质体育活动资源 (QPAR) 是由特征、便利设施和不文明行为的综合指数 QPAR 决定的。社区公园的 QPAR 指数为 545（平均值为 28.7），表明公园的使用率较低。优质 PA 特征与优质 PA 便利设施显著相关（P <.01）。
