HEALTHY LIFESTYLE A NATURAL CHOICE IF YOU’RE OUTDOORS
By Bob Kowalksi Executive Editor Multiview
A year of limited activity and indoor isolation left us yearning to get away from technology, and in many cases to get fit – again. One answer can solve both of those issues: outdoor workouts.
Exercising outside produces a long list of healthy habits and benefits, including a boost to mental health. Additionally, it’s easy to keep a social distance outdoors, even if you’re working out with friends.
As industries shifted to workfrom-home during the coronavirus pandemic, a lot of those home-bound workers, sitting near the snacks in their own kitchens, put on what some are calling the COVID 19, as in pounds.
Many were reluctant to go to gyms or fitness centers, which in some places were closed to guard against coronavirus transmission. Even now, with restrictions relaxed or removed, not everyone is in a hurry to return indoors.
Throughout the United States, people threw open the doors to take in nature. The Trust for Public Lands issued a special report on Parks and the Pandemic, which showed that use of parks, trails and other public spaces surged at the outset of COVID-19, with usage doubling in many locations, and increasing a whopping 165 percent at Pennsylvania’s Presque Isle State Park in March 2020 compared with the same timeframe a year earlier, before we knew what COVID-19 was.
That’s a turnaround from 2019, when a study by the Outdoor Foundation showed that half of the U.S. population failed to recreate outdoors, and fewer than 20 percent participated in outdoor activity a minimum of once a week.
The sun is outside, and that’s a universal plus-point. Even our happyface emojis look like the sun. The sun is a great and widely available source of vitamin D, which all living things require. Our body gains from vitamin D through healthy bones, steady calcium levels, reduced inflammation and a bolstered immune system, according to a report in Medical News Today.
Those benefits don’t stop there. Sunlight has been shown to benefit our cardiovascular system and lower blood pressure. Serious athletes are taking notice, too, drawing upon a pair of recent studies that show reduced muscle damage and increased sprint performance thanks to vitamin D, as reported in Outside magazine.
Think that the local park can’t match the gym for workout equipment? Try again. Adding fitness equipment to public facilities is a trend on the rise. Philadelphia is just one city that has rolled out a way to keep its citizens fit in their own parks.
A focus on outdoor exercise began well before the pandemic. Researchers at the University of Essex began studying “green exercise” back in 2003. “It is a concept which has also captured the interest of people around the globe as a solution to improve mental wellbeing for all ages,” states the school’s website.
More recently, the American Council on Exercise initiated the Moving Together Outside Campaign, which encourages shared-use agreements that allow open spaces to be used more frequently. Long before then, in the 1980s, the term “forest bathing” was coined, referring to the Japanese practice of reconnecting with forests and stemming tech-induced burnout.
A positive sign of the pandemicinspired drive outdoors was the surge
in bicycle sales. Of course, that was a negative for those left on their feet when unable to locate a bike to buy. For a motor-driven nation, the return to two wheels can be seen as a step forward.
All of this data might make you look smarter if you’re staying fit outdoors, but it leads to better brainpower in the classroom too. The study, “School Green Space and Its Impact on Academic Performance: A Systematic Literature Review” in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health analyzed findings on studies about green space and academic performance. Researchers found that 28% of the findings were “significant and positive” while 64% were non-significant and 8% significant and negative.
Another study, from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, shows that children who grow up near greenspace face a lower risk of psychiatric disorders. Back in 2014, researchers at the University of Illinois determined that children who participated in physical activity for an hour or more a day were able to better pay attention, move between mental exercises and were less easily distracted, according to the school.
Children aren’t the only individuals positively affected by green space. Researchers at Korea’s KAIST found that as cities develop economically, residents’ happiness is more closely tied to the availability of green space.
With all of this breath-taking evidence in favor of nature, there’s only thing left for you to do: Get out!

The recent U.S. Census has been completed and there is plenty of demographic information to pour over. Here is an early look at some of the bigger picture numbers and what they mean for California parks and recreation agencies.
California’s Population: Trends in Numbers
Every ten years, the U.S. Census Bureau conducts its head count of Americans. The latest Census was conducted in 2020 during the pandemic and the overall results will be forthcoming over 2021. The completed data analysis from the Census will give us more precise information about our population size its age, income, ethnic background and a whole host of other statistics. Some of the data will be significant such as the realignment of Congressional representatives for states and other information will be of interest and importance to communities and parks and recreation departments such as percentage of people under 18 or the employment levels.
During this coming year, the Census Bureau will be releasing additional data that will provide us with specific data in a wide variety of areas
Population Trends of the United States.
Before the current data about Californians is presented , a quick look at how America has changed over the last ten years since the last Census will place the California’s initial numbers in clearer perspective.
The initial trends based on the release of 2020 Census data reveal the following about the overall makeup of our country as follows: • Stagnation in the Number of People. Previously the United States has been among the most rapidly growing nations in the industrial world. The current data released from the Census suggests that the
United States may actually be experiencing its smallest decade long growth in our history.
Some of this decline is likely due to the Recession in the earlier part of the decade leading to lower childbirth rates, the changes in im-
migration policies, and of course, the pandemic. • More Significant Population
Aging. Even with the deaths among older Americans during the pandemic, the aging population will be more significant since baby boomers were an especially large cohort group when they were born and some of them are living longer, this will result in an increase in aging
Americans. • Majority of Population is Younger. Gen Z and those younger than this group make up the majority of the country’s population • First-time Decline in the Size of the White Population. There is rising racial and ethnic diversity among millennials, Gen Z, and younger. As older Americans with its large white population, decline will occur as they become older and die out.

What about California?
That’s a capsule picture of how the United States has changed but what about California? It is interesting that California both leads in some trends and lags in other. Some of the current estimates include the following: • California is Still #1 in Population. One in eight US residents lives in California. With almost 40 million people (according to 2020 estimates), California is the nation’s most populous states. Texas lags
California in second place at 29 million followed by Florida at 22 million. • California’s Population Growth
Slows Significantly. There was a time when California was the place to be and certainly to relocate.
However, the last two decades have painted a different picture with
California experiencing its slowest rates of growth ever.
According to estimates by the California Department of Finance, California’s population grew by 6.5% (or 2.4 million) from 2010 to 2020, slower than the rate of growth in the rest of the United States at 6.7%.
In the past year, growth has really stalled with an 0.05% gain. • Loss of a Congressional Seat.
Even though California is home to the largest number of people, the stagnation and perhaps undercount of immigrants and non-documented individuals has led to the loss of one
Congressional seat. • California Is More Diverse. More than 10 million Californians are immigrants and an estimated 27% or 10.6 million of Californians are foreign born; this share is larger than that of any other state ,. More recently, immigration from Asia has outpaced immigration from Latin
America by a two-to-one margin. • Aging but Younger. The state will experience the greying of America just like the rest of the country but at the same time it is among one of the youngest states with a median age of 37. • Approximately, one in five Californians will be 65 or older. But the state’s population is slightly younger than that of the rest of the nation: according to 2019 Census
Bureau estimates, the median age in
California is 37.0, compared to 38.5 for the entire country. California has the seventh-youngest population in the US. • Californians may have been un-
dercounted in the 2020 Census.
Three in four Californians belong to one or more hard-to-count groups: children, young men, Latino and
African American residents, and renters. Noncitizens may also have been hesitant to be a part of the Census and the pandemic caused further complications.
How does that matter? Population count figures into political representation and federal funding.

at the state level are needed for us to continue to advance the parks and recreation profession. Please contact me or Doug Grove, Vice-President regarding your interest in one of these positions. In addition, as I promised to you during my incoming speech, we continue to work on the progression of J.E.D.I (Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion). A task force was established to discuss the priorities and work needed to progress forward and I am very proud of the work of our task force as they navigate how this can better serve our members, agencies, and individuals that are seeking resources, education, and open conversations within a trusted space. This is a challenging task and one that has no specific deadlines but is a continuous evolution that must be maintained and strengthened. I believe we have solid leaders and contributors that will define our purpose and roll so that we can be a leading association that better provides to our members. Lastly, our #DiamondJubilee celebration recognizing 75 years as a membership association continues and our Districts and Sections are getting involved. It is great to see our diamond CPRS logo on flyers, emails, and other means as a symbol of strength, advancement, and resilience. Whether you are a CPRS member for 20 year, 10 years, or 1 month, you should feel proud to be apart of this great society and the benefits that it provides to you.
In closing I would like to extend my deepest thanks to the 74 CPRS Past Presidents. Some of you I have had the privilege of knowing, some of you I have met, and few of you I only know by name. All of you were a driving visionary for the success of our society and contributing to us leading the nation in parks and recreation. You sacrificed, you endured, and you rallied the board, leaders, and association through the peaks and valleys since 1946. It was not the success of one of you, but the strength of all of you holding the highest position in CPRS that has made our society great. I appreciate all of you and extend my thanks for showing me the way.
Stay Safe-Stay Strong-Stay Healthy!
Best Wishes,
