A good summary of the problem. Even better? How about an implementation plan like this: First, audit the use and condition of existing parks. Smaller, low use parks in close proximity to larger, higher use parks might be better shuttered with incremental resources supporting larger parks. Second, shift funding for all planned new parks to all existing parks. Take care of what you have before you build new. Impose a moratorium on new parks anywhere until you can fund what you have everywhere. Third, don’t build a new park without a dedicated, protected base level of maintenance fund. When you raise the capital to construct, include a dedicated fund for 30 to 50 years. If you need to cement political will, adopt an ordinance making it a requirement. Fourth, monetize park edges. Include revenue generating uses such as cafes and neighborhood retail. Keep or acquire parcels for public agency ownership and use the ground lease rent to offset maintenance. Fifth, cultivate relationships with grantor agencies and the community to fund enhancements (beyond base, not ordinary maintenance). Better utilization of existing parks may reduce the need for new ones. Try it or don’t. But it’s probably time to try something new. #lighthouse #cre #parks #urbanplanning #landuse

The ground lease can be a powerful tool for city-owned real estate. It's not always a fit, but if this tool isn't in your kit, it should be. #lighthouse #cre

We’re thrilled to be featured in The Washington Post for our work transforming schoolyards into cooler, greener spaces: https://wapo.st/3TrQs2p #CommunitySchoolyards are more than play spaces—they reduce heat risks, enhance student health, support learning, and provide essential park space for communities. As temperatures rise, our efforts to replace asphalt with trees, shade structures, and nature-rich play areas is more urgent than ever—and our work isn’t complete until every schoolyard offers these vital benefits.

We hosted a client event last week at Topgolf Roseville, blending networking and philanthropy. Seven hotel partners joined us to showcase what's new in "America's Brightest City." As part of the program, clients enjoyed golf tips from PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) instructors. We were honored to present a $1,000 donation to PGA HOPE, supporting their mission of introducing golf to veterans. Thank you to our clients and partners for their support and participation.
