Hole #1 Today & After

Green space is a term that refers to a wide variety of natural and landscaped areas both publicly and privately owned. It includes parks, ravines, school yards, private yards, street trees, landscaped open spaces along streets and around buildings, golf courses, cemeteries and green roofs. Having access to and using green spaces promotes physical activity and improves health and wellbeing.

The presence of green space is associated with reduced mortality, obesity, depression, anxiety, cardiovascular disease and small for gestational age births. It also provides places for stress reduction, mental restoration and social interactions.
