Community participation and a willingness to take action are interrelated in their impact on health and safety outcomes. In Knoxville, an article in the local newspaper about a playground fire inspired one community resident to engage community  members in the rebuilding of Lonsdale Park.  So Gheen, president of Realty Trust Group,  gathered together Realty Trust volunteers and community residents to buy supplies and repair the playground. The project has brought about a sea of change and led to other projects to utilize open space and promote physical activity.
