• ABSORB & PROTECTParks and open space can absorb stormwater and serve as a buffer between rivers and surrounding development, providing flood protection. Our analysis identifies locations where green asset investments, such as expanded tree canopy or strategic park design and location can absorb stormwater and protect development from flooding.
• COOLWell-positioned green space and canopy cover can reduce ambient temperature by 5° to 10° F. Our analysis identifies areas of Dallas where parks and open space can reduce urban heat islands and cool nearby neighborhoods.

• CONNECTMany Dallas residents rely on biking paths, greenbelts, and linear parks for their daily transportation needs. Our analysis identifies areas where investments in cycling/pedestrian infrastructure can improve safety and improve connectivity between trails and transit.

• EQUITYParks are particularly important to neighborhoods with a high prevalence of low-income households, children, senior citizens, and residents with limited English-proficiency. For these groups, parks fill the need for common public space that may not be readily available in their neighborhoods. Our analysis identifies areas of Dallas where parks can provide common public space for these groups.
