Outdoor Accessability for People of Color
White people make up nearly 60% of the U.S. population, but more than 75% of visitors to national parks sites. They also account for nearly three-quarters of outdoor recreation participants in 2020, an Outdoor Foundation survey report found. While Washington is often regarded as a mecca for nature enthusiasts, Black people made up less than 1.5% of visitors to state parks, despite representing more than 4% of the state population, reports the Black Washingtonians Workgroup on Outdoor Recreation.
