City Parks Alliance is the only independent, nationwide membership organization solely dedicated to urban parks in the USA. The organisation was established in 2000 by a nationwide group of urban parks administrators and advocates as an outgrowth of the Lila Wallace-Reader’s Digest Fund’s Urban Parks Initiative in the 1990s. Early workshops and conferences focused on partnerships, advocacy, and recreation.
