PLACEMAKING PROJECTS <br />People seek out parks because they provide contact <br />with the natural environment and a social environment <br />which offers opportunities for meeting with friends, <br />watching others and being seen - all of which help to <br />establish a feeling of comfort and security. Well - <br />designed and well -used parks and recreation areas are <br />a great asset for local communities. But that asset can <br />quickly become a liability when parks become unsafe <br />and as a result, lose their value and benefit to the <br />community. Keeping park and recreation facilities safe is <br />a key to community wellness and has a direct <br />relationship to their usage rate. Kiosk not only provide <br />opportunities for Entreprenurship they also put eyes on <br />the street. <br />"The safety of a street works <br />best... Most casually, and with <br />least frequent taint of hostility... <br />precisely when people are <br />using and most enjoying the <br />streets voluntarily. <br />-Jane Jacobs <br />VISION FOR URBAN PARK <br />ACTIVATION <br />
