MANILA, Philippines - In the face of crowding cities, families residing near outdoor spaces are discovering that the key to leading an active and fulfilling life may be as simple as a daily walk in the park.
Parks have been found to provide vital benefits to family members. A group of studies reviewed in a 2002 American Journal of Preventive Medicine showed that the creation of or enhanced access to park spaces contribute to a 48.4 percent increase in frequency of physical activity—an essential component for family health and fitness.
Families living near parks are also more likely to enjoy stronger social ties than those surrounded by barren concrete. A 1998 study by the University of Illinois and the University of Chicago found that the presence of green open spaces promotes convergence and social interaction among neighbors.
Recognizing this powerful impact of parks to personal and social wellbeing is Marquee Place by Alveo Land, an Ayala Land company. As an upscale residential development that is set to be the cosmopolitan hub of North Central Luzon, Marquee Place recently unveiled the Social Zone – a 1.2 hectare amenities park especially designed to cater to diverse needs.
