Communities of Practice
Programming with Purpose
Discover practical strategies to design and deliver inclusive and accessible park programming.
How can you better activate your park as a place for people to meet, mingle, relax, and play together? Discover practical strategies to design and deliver inclusive, accessible, and engaging programs that strengthen community connections. This series highlights case studies and proven frameworks to help you create high-impact park experiences.
We’re excited to offer two ways to participate in our Communities of Practice sessions.
Option 1: Webinar (1 hour)
Gain insights and practical knowledge during a 1-hour webinar led by subject matter experts and city practitioners. Webinars are a one-time commitment, and you can register up to 1 month before the session date.
Option 2: Extended Learning and Exchange (1.5 Hours)
Are you a city practitioner or park advocate exploring or currently working to create parks or green spaces on non-park land?
Join our committed workshop series designed for those actively exploring or developing parks in unconventional spaces. Each session includes a 1-hour webinar followed by 30 minutes of interactive peer exchange, working group activities, and small group discussions.
