The focus of this webinar will be on South African parks, recreation, and open public spaces to promote social connectedness and health. Parks and public open spaces have always been viewed as a place for community gathering, a place to relate to others and the environment. For optimal benefits and climate resilient communities, urban parks, leisure amenities, and communal public open spaces should be designed through a process of community engagement, and creativity. While not unique to South Africa, it is well known that some communities have access to better quality parks and services than others.
