The Physical Activity and Redesigned Community Spaces (PARCS) Study is an exciting collaboration between the CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy and NYC Parks.

The PARCS Study is focused on exploring the relationship between neighborhood environment and community health. It is the first study of its kind to explore the relationship between a neighborhood’s built environment and the health of the community on such a broad scale. It is also the only study of its kind in the world.
