Abstract
Park Prescription or “Park Rx” programs are gaining in popularity and helping to motivate people to be active in our parks. These programs encourage physicians to “prescribe” physical activity in park settings to their patients. By creating awareness of near-by parks and their health benefits, they can also help increase participation in programs in, as well as stewardship of, parks.
