Mission
Represent all the parks inside of and within walking distance of the UNNC boundaries. Advocate for park access for all community members.
Vision
Although UNNC is lacking in parks and green urban environments that promote healthy activities, creative experiences, and social spaces, we see a future where parks and green spaces are fully accessible to the community. To this end, this committee will represent all parks in the UNNC boundaries and will advocate for parks opened to all community members.
