The Trust for Public Land creates parks and protects land for people, ensuring healthy, livable communities for generations to come. Since its founding in 1972, the Trust for Public Land has created or protected over 5,400 parks and natural areas, serving over 7 million Americans who live within a 10-minute walk of these vibrant community spaces. Their work is shaped by local input to ensure that each park reflects the unique character and needs of the community. Applying this approach, they deliver high-quality, culturally relevant parks, trails, gardens, and greenways. Its Parks for People – Bay Area initiative brings their national work to a region that prides itself on creating intersections between urban and outdoor spaces.
