SUMMARY : Recognizes the importance of access to local parks,
trails, open space, and facilities such as swimming pools, skate
parks, dog parks, tennis courts, nature centers, and museums,
for the health and development of all Californians; and declares
July 2014, as "Parks Make Life Better!" Month. Specifically,
this resolution makes the following legislative findings:
1)The Governor, Legislature, and citizens have prioritized
efforts to increase physical activity, access to nature,
spaces for play and exercise, the arts, lifelong learning, and
social connections among children and adults through the
approval of statewide park bond programs.
2)The 2010 California Obesity Prevention Plan states that one in
every nine Californians children, one in three teens, and over
50% of adults are overweight or obese, and that obesity
affects all ages, income, educational, ethnic, and disability
groups; and, to address obesity, the State of California must
ensure that all California residents have access to safe
places to play and be active.
3)Participation in physical activities can lower a citizen's
risk of developing chronic health problems, such as high blood
pressure, asthma, heart disease, and diabetes and can help
children grow up to be healthier adults.
4)California's costs attributable to physical inactivity,
obesity, and excess body weight in 2006 were estimated at
$41.2 billion; and, in contrast, a 5% improvement in each of
these risk factors could result in annual savings of nearly
