Whether or not there are economic impacts of local and regional parks is a point no longer debatable. A study published in April 2020 by the Csummarized the economic role that local parks play in urban development and found that, in 2017, local park agency spending “generated more than $166 billion in economic activity boosting national gross domestic product by $87 billion and supporting over 1.1 million jobs that paid $50.8 billion in salaries, wages and benefits.
We all know an example in Dallas, like Klyde Warren Park’s effect on economic development. This has been proved over and over again in other locations like Chattanooga, Tenn., where property values rose 127% after an effort by local residents to repair the quality of life. In Atlanta, condominium prices increased from $115 to $250 per square foot with the construction of Centennial Park. In Boulder, Colo., property tax revenue increased $500,000 annually with the creation of a greenbelt.
