Answer:

City parks make cities more resilient. Cities are integrating parks with their infrastructure plans to manage storm water and mitigate flooding. Cost-sharing across agencies can save money on park creation, maintenance and programming allowing cities to fully leverage the many benefits of parks to cities and residents.
