At the Trust for Public Land, we don't just save land—we save land for people to enjoy, from neighborhood parks to national parks. Our mission is to create parks and protect land for people, ensuring healthy, livable communities for generations to come.

TPL's -Minute Walk, an award-winning national program, is engaging city leaders to close the park equity divide so that every resident has access to a quality park or greenspace within a -minute walk of home. The Land and People Lab leads ParkServe - the only parks database and online tool for , places across the TPL's ParkScore index - the national gold-standard comparison of park systems across the most populated cities in the US, and conducts actionable parks research, conducted hand-in-hand with cities.
The Boston Parks for People program works to accomplish the -Minute Walk mission and advance park equity in Boston and the Gateway Cities.
