I am so proud of physicians and park employees who are making this prescription possible for people in their communities (the article is from April 2015). I love that there are medical professionals who are prescribing the outdoors as an alternative to popping pills!
I know many of us know that the outdoors is the way to good health, and mental well being. We may not have scientific evidence but we do have antidotal knowledge on a personal level. Below are several links promoting the use of parks "parkrx prescriptions" supporting what many of us have known innately.
