2/8/2022

no, because for some people natural spaces are a lot farther away. it’s probably easier to get to natural spaces from a suburb rather than an inner city place.

Some are harder to get to and sometimes getting transportation to parks is difficult.

it honestly depends i think yes and no because its no because some people might not have the money to really go to these national parks but at the same time if you just walk around outside its some type of natural space and to me that counts because u can still see some of the same things you would outside as you would in the national parks obvously it just depends on the area

No definitely not, People can live far away and not have the time or money to get there.

Not everyone has the same access to parks and natural spaces because of the infrastructures, the locations, transportations, and history behind the areas.

Probably not the same access all the time, especially if the park is not open year round. If you go to the parks while the main parts of are closed you won't get the same experiences as the people that go when most of the stuff in the parks are open.

No because some people don't have the money for admittance, some people don't have cars and public transit sucks, the natural spaces they do have may be nasty and filled with litter.

no because some people live closer so it’s easier access

It's mainly an issue of transportation. Finding the time off of work to go to a park, drive all the way their, spend a while exploring it with the food and water that you need, it's all just too much of a hassle for most people.

While admission for National Parks is the same for everyone, getting to the national parks is not as equitable. Here in Nebraska we don’t have many close by national parks. Traveling to a park requires time off of work, funds to travel, and ability to participate in park activities.

no because to some people that really cheap, but to others its more of what they make. Also not everyone lives near them, so they have to include travel into going to the national park.

No not everyone has the same access to wild spaces. Some people live in areas that are completely surrounded by infrastructure. They may not have the time or money to get to the national parks. They may not have the same kind of wilderness in the parks inside the cities.

No, a lot of people do not have time off work to spare or cannot afford a car etc.

No because some you need a better car because it could be rough terrain or muddy and if they have an old car it probably would die or get stuck.

No, some people are poor and afford it

No, some parks are farther away from cities, which means that it would take more money to actually get there. Plus, people could be working a lot and thus can't get breaks to actually go to the parks.

No. Not everyone has equal access because some don't have the money to get in the national parks.
