The Goal:
SPARKS aims to support 1 million neighborhood parks globally.
The Reach:
With each park serving ~1,000 residents, this initiative targets 14% of humankind (1 billion people).
The Footprint:
An activity of a global non-profit currently in the USA, UK, UAE, and India, with expansion plans for Brazil, Russia, and China.
The Mission: Leveraging media, technology, and government collaboration to revolutionise Park Management.
Appearance (Aesthetics & Safety):
Installing fences, gates, multilingual signage, and comprehensive lighting (functional & decorative) alongside landscaping.
Utility (Comfort & Health):
Providing seating, walking paths, and water sources for maintenance.
Activity (Engagement):
Installing open-air exercise equipment for adults and play facilities (swings, slides) for children to foster an active community.
The Team:
Success requires a committed group of 5 to 9 local volunteers to take ownership.
The Process:
The team documents the park (Google location, area, 10 photos), lists current/proposed amenities, and compiles contact details.
The Action:
Submit the proposal via email to millionsparksproject@gmail.com to initiate the support process.
The Result: A streamlined partnership between residents and the SPARKS initiative.
is to reach out to a million parks and support them. Each park caters, on average, to about a thousand residents. This way, SPARKS can impact a billion people or about 14% of humankind.
is to combine the power of “media and technology” with the convenience of local “government bodies and residents” to make “Park Management” more efficient and effective.
dedicated to improving “neighbourhood parks”. It is an activity of a global not-for-profit organisation with offices in USA, UK, UAE and India (with plans to expand to include Brazil, Russia and China).
All it requires is for a group of 5 to 9 volunteers from the neighbourhood of the park to come together and follow this process:
A) About the Park: Make a brief write-up about the park – include the following details: Google Location, Park Area (in square feet) and about 10 photographs
B) Benefits & Amenities of the Park: List out the current (and proposed) benefits and amenities of the park.
C) Contact Details: Compile the contact details (email, mobile & address) of each of the 5 to 9 volunteers.
Here are a few specific ways where we can add value to a park:
Email A, B & C to the following email ID: millionsparksproject@gmail.com
– Providing a fence for the park
– Providing a gate (multiple gates, if needed) for the park
– Lighting up the Park (illuminating lights + decorative lights)
– Signboards (multilingual)
– Planting flowering plants and trees as appropriate.
– Providing seats for visitors to the park
– Providing walking options
– Installing a water source for the plants
– Setting up a range of exercise equipment
– Setting up play facilities for children (swing, seesaw, slide)
These are just a few ideas (indicative, not exhaustive) for you to work on.
So, please come forward to change the world, one park at a time
