Regular physical activity is essential for preventing chronic diseases, yet over 75% of U.S. adults fail to meet recommended physical activity levels.
Natural settings, such as parks and trails, are effective for physical activity as they offer both physical and mental health benefits, along with enjoyment.
Demographic disparities exist in park usage; Black adults are less likely to engage in physical activity in parks compared to white adults.
Accessibility issues in natural spaces notably affect marginalized groups, including Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, as well as children and the elderly.
