This article highlights the work of the Chula Vista Community Collaborative, a group of neighbors and community organizations, who worked with the city and police department to make physical changes to a neighborhood park. The changes increased community use of the park and improved perceptions of safety. Joint use is another important strategy to support the health and safety features of a community. Increasing access to parks and open space invites participation, fosters a sense of community, and ultimately leads to a healthier, safer community.
