Social Groupies: How Different Groups Use Urban ParksScience · General Science · Grades 6–8Reading

People visit parks to do many different activities, such as play basketball, baseball, sunbathe, swim, walk, picnic, or go bicycling. If park managers know what people like to do in a particular park, they can do a better job of providing the opportunity. The question the scientist wanted to answer in this study was: What activities do people of different ethnic backgrounds do while visiting an urban park? Note: In earlier Natural Inquirer articles like this one, the Discussion section is called Topics: Recreation, Social Science, Demographics, Park Management, Social Science, Survey.
