IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON OUTDOOR RECREATION
The Canadian City Parks Report: Centring Equity & Resilience (2021) by Park People included a survey with 3,500 responses received, including representation from all provinces and territories. The survey results showed a renewed interest in parks, a trend that was anecdotally reported throughout the pandemic, as well as continued support for expanded parks-based activities:
89% had tried a new activity in a park in 2020, with top activities including regular walks through parks and trails (56%) and socializing with friends and family (40%). 50% reported their winter park use increased during COVID-19 compared to pre-pandemic winters with 73% saying they expected this use to continue or increase in post-pandemic winter seasons.
