This week on Podparks, Alice interviews Tim Geyer, Deputy Chair of World Urban Parks.

Tim is an experienced Parks and Recreation Manager and has worked in parks and horticulture for over 40 years.  His passion for creating green spaces for his communities is evident as he highlights the relationship between parks and health and wellbeing. He emphasizes the importance of scientific research to explore these connections and shares his work in the Aging, Wellbeing and Parks committee at WUP, where he has found that older adults are often underrepresented in park design and policy. Tim discusses some of  the policy suggestions the committee has made to promote safe and accessible parks for all.
