At the Golden Gate Institute, we are working to promote parks as emerging resources for improving health and well-being.

Parks are on the frontline of climate change impact and visibility, giving them unique potential to educate visitors and encourage them to take active roles in building environmental resilience.

The Institute works with partners nationwide to understand how park and health agencies can work together to promote time in nature as a health intervention.

The Healthy Parks Healthy People: Bay Area collaborative (HPHP: Bay Area) was created in 2011 with the goal of improving the well-being of Bay Area residents through the regular use of parks and public lands.
