For example, the Lowline in New York City will open in 2021. This underground park is being built in an unused trolley terminal on the Lower East Side and will be illuminated by solar technology. Drones will increase in use. Public sector agencies will formalize their utility in monitoring natural resources, visitors and emergency situations.

The NRPA sponsors a range of evidence-based programs in parks and rec centers across the country, such as programs for sedentary adults and those with arthritis.
