KB Study Featured in Parks & Recreation Magazine

An ongoing study examining the use of shade in US and Australian parks was recently featured on page 22 in the April issue of  Parks & Recreation Magazine , the member magazine for the National Recreation and Park Association .

Klein Buendel, Inc.  (KB) is conducting the study in collaboration with the Cancer Council of Victoria . The study, “Norms and Built Environment: Use of Shade in U.S. and Australian City Parks,” will examine the use of shade structures and sun safety behaviors among park users in Denver, Colorado and Melbourne, Australia. In both cites, researchers will compare user behaviors in parks where there are shade structures and in parks that do not have shade structures.

The study is funded by the National Cancer Institute .
