Equitable Aquatics: The 3 Ps of Inclusive Aquatics

LGBTQ+/non-binary individuals, non-native English speakers, breastfeeding moms, low-income families and persons who are differently abled: are these people able to have equal experiences at your facilities? Equitable aquatics is about making sure that you are making your pools accessible AND working to get all types of folks to your facilities. Part exercises, part lecture — this session is designed for you to “work in” your aquatics operations area in real time, and leave with ideas to unpack later. We’ll explore the implications and implementation of the 3 Ps of Inclusive Aquatics: Personnel, Programming and Policies, and discuss outcomes and examples for each of the areas. We’ll touch on how to grade your policies and rules for inclusivity, the fundamentals of low-income and scholarship-based offerings, and how to focus on outreach to fill your pool, programs and payroll list with individuals who represent your diverse community.

Equity: Why "Racial," Not "Social" Equity?

Why "racial," not "social" equity? While wealth is a major driver in outcomes, race is the stronger predictor. When studies control for income, racial disparities remain key factors in health, education, employment and incarceration. Racial equity strategies are currently a major focus of parks departments in large, diverse, urban cities. Parks departments — such as the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, New York City Parks, Los Angeles County Parks and Recreation, San Francisco Recreation and Parks, Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, and Portland (Oregon) Parks and Recreation — are developing equity initiatives to ensure that their parks are focusing resources that best serve these changing demographics. Creating a racial equity strategy provides a framework, tools and resources that also can create social equity solutions. During this session, you will learn strategies for gathering the appropriate data to ensure that the predominant race and income of an area does not predict the quality and/or quantity of its parks, and that parks in diverse, low-income areas best reflect the community needs in that area.

From Brown to Green

From a Baygall Swamp to a bustling railyard that served as the largest employer in Central Florida, Lake Bonnet and its surrounding land played a myriad of roles throughout its history. This 180-acre piece of land adjacent to downtown Lakeland, FL was a working piece of infrastructure up until the 1950s. Fast-forward 60 years to today and to the next role of this derelict brownfield site: a public park. Bonnet Springs Park's visionary mission and technical challenge is to reverse the impacts of former Lakeland Rail Yard operations and create a site where wetlands work to manage and clean an urban watershed, artful landforms conceal decades of contamination, and imaginative horticulture encourages a connection to nature for future generations. This session will explore how innovative designs for brownfield sites, partnering, and funding are remediating the land and transforming it to a new Central Park for Florida.
