About Urbnparks

There are so many parks in cities that people don’t know about – and that’s our number one goal – connecting people to places outdoors in the city – green spaces and city parks. We hope you find value in this website and find parks in your area that suit your interest.

The Story:

Urbnparks was created at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. In times of social distancing and isolation, I, like many people, struggled with mental and physical health. During this time, I realized that my health should be prioritized now more than ever. In times of isolation, I needed to do wellness checks for my mental and physical health.

With gyms closed, I turned to parks. Running, biking, and walking in the scenic parks of Boston helped me get through it. Along the way, I would see parks with so many great amenities that not enough people knew about. Urbnparks was created for that reason – to make finding parks, sports, activities and events more accessible to people, in effort to encourage them to go outdoors in the city.

Values

Urbnparks is a website that helps users find parks and encourage people to get outdoors. We believe in the following values:

Be Healthy

Whether you’re walking, running, playing a sport, or doing an activity, getting out to parks provides many health benefits.

Get Outdoors

In cities, it can be tough to get some outdoors time. Finding a local park allows you to spend time outdoors.

Community

Staying connected with friends, family and community is important. Spend some time in parks to stay connected and stay active.
