Welcome to the Foundation, a Parks People Podcast, brought to you by the National Association of Park Foundations. I'm Kevin Korenthal, your host, and the Executive Director of the National Association of Park Foundations. We're excited to have Sam Mendelsohn, the President and CEO of Greenfields Outdoor Fitness, as our guest today.

Greenfields Outdoor Fitness has been a pioneer in reshaping outdoor fitness equipment to ensure accessibility and inclusivity for all individuals, regardless of their abilities. Sam takes us on a journey back to Greenfields' beginnings in 2007, highlighting the need for equipment that accommodates a diverse range of users. They have continued to innovate, creating accessible equipment, CrossFit rigs, and Ninja courses, providing people of all ages with opportunities to stay active outdoors. This episode also delves into the crucial relationship between park foundations and park agencies, emphasizing their collaboration to bring about meaningful change in communities. Sam's insights shine a light on the path to making outdoor fitness more inclusive and promoting healthy, active living in our parks and open spaces.
