Current Projects:
Park System Equity—Preliminary Analysis
•Two analyses were done for VPA: ParkScore and GRASP
•ParkScore assessed the equity and accessibility of our park system
•GRASP assessed the quality of our park system
•Our analysis included both to find where they intersect to reveal gaps in service
•The large areas are where the access may be beyond a 10 minute walk and where the demographics of the neighborhood reflect potential need
•City-owned lots, potential Tax Sale lots, and vacant lots were included
to demonstrate the availability of land/space in the areas of need and
to help identify potential new park locations
