Summer Parks Observation Week
June 22–28, 2026
A coordinated week where volunteers each pick one park, sit for 30 minutes, and submit a structured observation. Aggregate-only. We're testing whether human observation can fill the gap that sensors and Google reviews leave open.
How to participate
- Pick one park you can reach by transit or bike.
- Bring a phone with a 30-minute timer and the observation template open in a spreadsheet app.
- Sit somewhere with a clear view. No photos, no recordings — counts only.
- Note weather, time, and your own confidence in the numbers (1.0 if you're sure, 0.5 if it's a busy edge case).
- Email the completed CSV to [email protected] with subject 'campaign:summer-2026'.
Upload a completed sheet
The file lands in the intake queue; an admin reviews it and merges it into the dataset on the next refresh.
