About SPARCS: The Supporting Parks and Revitalizing Communities Study (SPARCS) is a citywide initiative that looks at how park programming created and designed by community members impacts resident health and wellbeing. This project is a joint initiative between the CUNY School of Public Health and 3x3, along with support from the Partnership for Parks.
SPARCS Goals: At its core, SPARCS examines how community-led activations in neighborhood parks can boost health-related outcomes. The study focuses on mental health and well-being indicators— such as anxiety, stress, and loneliness—as well as social and physical well-being measures.
