Parks Are Essential . . .

arks and green space
offer a unique reprieve
from our daily lives
that are swarmed with

Pscreens, commotion
and what can feel like an endless
barrage of to-do lists. If the
pandemic in 2020 taught us
anything, it was that we were in
desperate need of time to slow
down and recollect ourselves.

More time at home with family
gave us an opportunity to
reconnect and rediscover each
other and ourselves.

The crisis that played out during the
early months of Covid-19 allowed us
to be grateful for the little things again
and explore the world around us –
albeit close to home. Parks allowed
us to feel like we could get outside,
see new things and still stay safe
for our loved ones, friends and the
world. Gathering with our community
moved from indoor places to the
reassurance of open spaces. Our
weekends turned from hustle to hikes
and the nightly dinner rush slowed
down and became a welcomed
outdoor picnic.
Parks have always been essential in
allowing everyone in a community to
practice health and wellness through
nature. We are reminded how lucky
we are in Roswell to have such a
spectacular array of spaces to gather,
reconnect and rediscover.
