It also found that existing parks are often inaccessible, perceived as unsafe and often don&rsquo;t serve the needs of many in the community. Despite these significant challenges, the research report concluded that reasons for optimism exist and pointed to a number of hopeful signs, such as voter approval of ballot measures that generate tax revenue for future parkland acquisition and development. It also made several policy recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to 2011 and it&rsquo;s clear that progress has been made towards addressing some of the deficiencies identified by Loukaitou-Sideris.
