A new study from researchers at George Washington University Milken Institute of Public Health reveals that not all urban parks provide equal health benefits. Parks in less privileged neighborhoods across the United States tend to be smaller, hotter, and more polluted than those in wealthier areas—highlighting persistent environmental inequities in cities nationwide. The work is published in the journal Environmental Research Letters.
