Studies show that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/paresearchcenter.org\/are-adolescents-less-physically-active-in-the-summer\/\">American Indian, Asian American, Black and Latino<\/a>\u00a0youth in particular reduce the amount of time they spend on physical activity in summer compared to the school year.<\/p>\n<p>As professors of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?hl=en&amp;user=Rj7Jpt8AAAAJ\">public health<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?hl=en&amp;user=XR8oz0YAAAAJ\">community health<\/a>, we examine how community collaborations can create opportunities for more play \u2013 and more equitable play \u2013 while also building neighborhood cohesion. Below we highlight four such opportunities.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Shared-use agreements<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Shared-use agreements, also called joint-use and community-use agreements, are when public, private or nonprofit organizations allow community access to their facilities or physical spaces. For example, a school may let local residents use their playground, soccer field or running track when school is not in session.<\/p>\n<p>Even in states like California, where state laws encourage civic use of public school facilities, many schools\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dhhr.wv.gov\/hpcd\/Documents\/Joint-Use%20Agreements%20Schools.pdf\">lock their grounds<\/a>\u00a0and are inaccessible to community residents.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tpl.org\/media-room\/opening-schoolyards-public-during-non-school-hours-could-alleviate-problem-park-access\">A report<\/a>\u00a0from the Trust for Public Land, a conservation nonprofit that advocates for public access to outdoor spaces,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tpl.org\/media-room\/opening-schoolyards-public-during-non-school-hours-could-alleviate-problem-park-access\">estimates that only 10%<\/a>\u00a0of U.S. public schools give the general public formal access to schoolyard sites.<\/p>\n<p>Shared-use agreements can provide a safe place for physical activity in any type of community \u2013\u00a0rural, suburban or urban. They are especially useful in low-income communities with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.landurbplan.2016.05.017\">fewer park spaces, less-safe parks and parks of lower quality<\/a>. Partners may include schools, faith institutions, businesses, libraries and hospitals that could have an outdoor playground, running track or other open spaces for physical activity.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.changelabsolutions.org\/healthy-neighborhoods\/shared-use\">ChangeLab Solutions<\/a>, a health equity nonprofit, provides toolkits, examples and model agreements for people interested in providing safe places for play and physical activity in their community.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>StoryWalks<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kellogghubbard.org\/storywalk\">StoryWalks<\/a>\u00a0are typically a collaboration between a local library and local park system in which a children\u2019s book is reproduced on semi-permanent displays along a walking trail. Kids \u2013 and importantly their friends, family and caregivers \u2013 are invited to read the story along a journey of the park path.<\/p>\n<p>Stories can be embellished with suggested activities such as \u201chop like Peter Rabbit\u201d or \u201ccrawl like the Very Hungry Caterpillar.\u201d Libraries and parks and recreation departments work together to identify culturally relevant and active books to install, and which parks to target. The partnership can bring reading and activities to underutilized and under-programmed parks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/letsmovelibraries.org\/storywalk\/\">Let\u2019s Move in Libraries<\/a>\u00a0and the American Library Association provide examples and suggestions to get started,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/programminglibrarian.org\/articles\/what%E2%80%99s-story-ideas-creative-storywalk-programming\">including ways to creatively connect<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.childrenandnature.org\/resources\/thinking-outside-of-the-stacks-the-growth-of-nature-smart-libraries\/\">families, books and nature<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Play Streets<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.ypmed.2019.105869\">Play Streets<\/a>\u00a0typically close down a residential street, but can be located in any public space \u2013 like a parking lot, field, playground or park \u2013 where kids can safely play outside during a specified time, typically in the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Individuals or community groups can host them and partner with other organizations \u2013 such as the local health department,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nifa.usda.gov\/extension\">county extension office<\/a>, library, faith institution, school or fire or police station. These partners can help supply additional volunteers and equipment like bouncy houses, hula hoops, jump ropes, sports equipment and potato sacks for races.<\/p>\n<p>Play Streets are affordable to implement and require few resources. Children play in the various activity areas, sometimes with adult facilitation, but mostly through child-directed free play.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.baylor.edu\/publichealth\/ruralplaystreetsguide\">Rural Play Streets Guide<\/a>, which one of us co-developed with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jhsph.edu\/faculty\/directory\/profile\/1814\/keshia-pollack-porter\">Keshia Pollack Porter<\/a>, a professor at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, has a step-by-step guide to help anyone \u2013 whether rural, suburban or urban \u2013 plan Play Streets in their community.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_58550\" style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-58550\" class=\"size-full wp-image-58550\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/walktrack.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/walktrack.jpeg 680w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/walktrack-250x188.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/walktrack-600x450.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-58550\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A mile-long TRACK Trail loop in North Carolina offers brochures with different activities to complete.
