WeConservePA: Parks In Perpetuity - The Protections Provided To Parks & Public Open Spaces

Parks and other public open spaces deliver tremendous benefits to the public and provide a crucial foundation for building, maintaining, and renewing communities. 

People rely on the permanence of these civic assets in making decisions on where to live and work. 

It is no wonder that Pennsylvania law affords great protections to parks from sale or conversion to non-public uses by the municipal governments responsible for their care. 

WeConservePA has published a new guide describing the protections parks and other public open spaces receive under state law.
