10 Minute Walk
Park Initiative

Post

A 10-minute walk isn’t just a number—it’s a vision for thriving, connected neighborhoods. Access to parks within this distance means more chances to unplug, relax, and connect with nature, right in your own community.

A 10-minute walk to a park is more than just a convenient distance—it’s about making green spaces an essential part of our everyday lives. With 85% of Rocklin residents already living within this half-mile radius from a park, it’s clear that accessible outdoor spaces are already enhancing our community. This proximity turns parks into hubs for connection, where families can gather, kids can play, and everyone can benefit from nature’s calming presence. When parks are this close, they’re woven into the fabric of daily life, promoting healthier, more vibrant, and equitable neighborhoods. Expanding this access ensures that all Rocklin residents can enjoy the benefits of nearby parks, building an even stronger, greener future for our city.
