Pathway to Health in Parks Become a 2020 SCORP Partner In 2015, California’s innovative Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) focused on increasing park access and equity throughout the state. To advance the strategy for achieving this vision, the SCORP Team met with local residents, universities, and the Advisory Council and reached agreement: Parks and recreation must be positioned as an essential public service for creating healthy and safe communities.
