Contributions of park-based activities to overall physical activity among adults living near recently renovated parks in low-income New York City neighborhoods: variations by race/ethnicity and sex

Among adults with past-month renovated park use in low-income NYC neighborhoods, park-based activities explained a significant proportion of the variability in overall PA, with stronger contributions among minorities and males. These findings highlight the importance of considering sociodemographic differences when assessing the role of renovated urban parks in promoting PA and suggest that investments in high-quality green spaces may be particularly impactful for minority groups facing disproportionate barriers to PA.
