Prescription Parks

As we wrap up National Landscape Architecture Month, I am excited to see that the prescription parks movement is getting new attention, especially with some mapping of the parks in and around Washington DC. ASLA's The Dirt returns to this topic to capture how it continues to grow and offers some new details. The integration of the medical community and the use of the phone app make this old idea seem new again. And for landscape architecture, it just reemphasizes the important role that we can have in improving health in our communities.
